PINTADE- LUGANA CLASSIC METHOD SPARKLING WINE

LUGANA DOC SPARKLING WINE

Lugana Spumante Palafitte shows a straw-yellow color. In addition to the fragrances of bottle re-fermentation, its bouquet reminds of herbaceous and floral notes, with light dehydrated herbaceous essences, fruity hints of citrus and ripe flesh fruit. It presents a dry taste but it offers a fragrance characterized by a distinct creaminess and sharp minerality.

It is best served at 6-8°C in flûte glasses. Thanks to its gastronomic profile, it pairs well with hearty fish dishes.

This wine is connected to France as its name is inspired by the Champenois method: Pintade simply translates to guinea fowl, which is our logo.
