Pojer e Sandri Alto Adige - Südtirol Extra Brut Cuvée '13-'14

A very favorite natural pet nat. Off dry and lovely with spicy food.

Certified organic Solaris hybrid grapes, with all natural yeasts. Frizzante. With a slightly sloppy disgorge, it is hazy, med straw in color.

In restaurant Pre de Costa (Armentarola) I have tasted two glasses of this super elegant brut rosé with a very subtile mousse and a very balanced taste with a surprising hint of cocoa followed by a super elegant finish; lovely stuff (only € …

Very pleasant sparkling wine - great for any occasion - especially the rose' -and love that label with the woodcut by Albrecht Durer!
