This elegant sparkling wine is crafted entirely from Chardonnay grown in a stunning natural amphitheater on the slopes of Mount Etna. At 800 meters above sea level, the high altitude air keeps the grapes incredibly fresh while the ancient volcanic soil adds a unique, smoky mineral quality. It spends thirty six months aging to develop a rich, creamy texture similar to the world's finest traditional method bubbles. This bottle is a beautiful discovery for those seeking a sophisticated, crisp experience with a true sense of place.
