On the palate, it reveals a lively effervescence, with a harmonious interplay of stone fruit juiciness and a saline minerality that speaks to its terroir. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a lingering note of citrus zest. This wine exemplifies the ancestral method, offering a rustic yet refined expression that captivates the adventurous palate.
