Estro di Piona Blanc
Spumante Extra BrutExtra Brut Sparkling Wine, Martinotti Charmat Method - white – with an artistic label
In our winery, we do follow all the transformation steps of our grapes. So, sparkling wine making is a processing we are committed to with all our passion and know-how as well.
For our sparkling wine line Estro di Piona blanc, we have decided to use two native white berry vines, Garganega and Cortese, harvested at the right point of ripeness only.
We are proud of the label enriching this peculiar sparkling wine, designed in cooperation with an artist and calligrapher, Anna Schettin.
