Murgo BRUT
The great acidity, the low concentration in color and many other elements that come from the terroir, make these grapes very suitable for the production of sparkling wines made with the Classic Method. We obtain a wine with great personality and structure that boasts the distinction of being the first sparkling wine obtained from Nerello Mascalese grapes.
Mediterranean fish sashimi, oysters.
