Tasting the Sparkling wine by La Gelsomina

Intense yellow with greenish reflections and a fine and persistent perlage. The aroma is elegant with pleasant floral notes that leave room for hints of bread crust and yeast. On the palate it is fine and well balanced with an excellent correspondence between aromas and flavor.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with delicate foods such as fish, risotto, vegetables and soft cheeses. Must try with fried fish.
