Giuseppe Galliano Brut Nature Metodo Classico 2019 Borgo Maragliano

This is a 2019 Brut Nature sparkling wine made by the traditional method at Borgo Maragliano, an Asti estate in Piemonte. Chardonnay and pinot nero are selected with care and vinified separately, then blended to begin the second fermentation. The wine rests for 48 months on its yeasts, which gives a sparkling wine of elegance, balance and a complexity of aromas. It is a bright pale straw colour with a persistent mousse. Delicate white fruit and citrus lead on the nose, with bread crust and toasty hints. The palate is satisfying and balanced, closing on a pleasantly bitter note. It suits pasta courses and delicate fish dishes, and also works as an aperitif.
