Borgo Maragliano Federico Galliano Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Nature 2019

Federico Galliano is a 2019 Riesling spumante from Borgo Maragliano in Piedmont, made by the metodo classico and finished as a Brut Nature. The grapes are selected and grown at more than 500 metres above sea level. Fermentation takes place at very low temperatures to hold on to the aromatic detail of the variety, and the wine then rests on its yeasts for about 20 months, which gives a creamy, persistent mousse. It is pale straw with green reflections. The nose brings citrus notes of chinotto and lemon, delicate acacia blossom, honey and a mineral touch. The palate is full and fresh with citrus echoes and a lingering finish. It works as an aperitif and with raw seafood, shellfish and fresh cheeses.
