Bisson Abissi Rosé Metodo Classico Pas Dosé (75cl)

Abissi is a traditional-method sparkling rosé from Bisson, a Ligurian estate founded in Chiavari in 1978. It is made from two red grapes long grown in Liguria, Ciliegiolo and Granaccia, and has no dosage. What sets it apart is where it ages on its lees: not in a cellar but 60 metres down in the Ligurian Sea, off Cala degli Inglesi in the Portofino Marine Park. The bouquet is floral, with small red berries and spicy, iodine-tinged hints. On the palate it is mineral, briny and fresh, with a pleasantly dry finish to the sip. It pairs well with fish aperitifs.
