SOUTHERN / AMERICAN / PACIFIC WINE & SPIRITS® Puiatti Ribolla Gialla Metodo Classico Extra Brut NV (Isonzo, Friuli, Italy) – 6045281845407

Notes from the Winemaker:

A provocation and a challenge: the most refined of the autochthonous grape varieties, regularly underestimated with the charmat method, is enhanced by

Puiatti through the classic method, with a limited amount of lees contact lasting from fifteen to eighteen months. A more mellow Extra Brut: four grams of

sugar in disgorgement yield a clean, fragrant, cheerful taste with an elusive grace. A great autochthonous grape variety that takes up the classic method is

wonderful news—a great opportunity to be a star in a rapidly growing market.

Recommended Pairing: It is without compare when paired either with the aperitif or the entire meal for fish menus.
