Tasting notes
A fresh and expressive nose which reveals aromas of raspberry and strawberry. Many fine bubbles (give rise to a rich foam) that reveal a fine, light mouth, all in delicacy. A persistent finish combining freshness and red berries. Perfect as an aperitif and on crumbles and red fruit sorbets.
