Frescobaldi Leonia Metodo Classico Brut (1.5L)

A sparkling wine from Frescobaldi, produced at Castello Pomino in the Tuscan Apennines from Chardonnay and Pinot Nero. The grapes come from Pomino DOC vineyards between 500 and 700 metres, with fermentation mainly in steel and a small part in wood, followed by bottle refermentation and about 36 months on the lees. The nose shows citrus, white peach, white flowers, hawthorn and broom, with crusty bread, pastry, toasted hazelnut and dried fruit. The palate is creamy, fresh and savoury, with harmonious structure and a long, elegant, persistent finish.
