Spumante Brut 'Pievasciata' Vallepicciola

Spumante Brut "Pievasciata" di Vallepicciola is a sparkling wine produced in Tuscany with the Martinotti method, from Chardonnay grapes. A fresh and delicate sparkling wine that is born a few kilometers from Siena, on the typical Chianti soils rich in 'galestro' and 'alberese' rocks. To the nose there are pleasing hints of acacia, apple and lemon peel, aromas that continue pleasantly in the mouth where the wine is fresh, persistent bubbles and the finish gives mineral hints. Try it with a white meat sauce pasta
