Valle d'Aosta DOC Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle Metodo Classico Pas Dosé "Glacier" 2023 - Cave Mont Blanc

A sparkling wine from Valle d'Aosta, made by the traditional method from prié blanc grapes grown at 900-1200 metres. The base wine fermented in large larch-oak and stainless steel, then refermented in bottle with at least 16 months on the lees before disgorgement. Dosage is 1-2 g/l. It is bright straw yellow with a greenish rim and fine, persistent perlage. The nose shows apple, medlar, almond, fresh walnut and resin. The palate is energetic and fresh, with cedar, flint and marked minerality, finishing long with fig and coffee powder. It suits delicate cured meats, tuna, salmon or swordfish, and works as an aperitif.
