Stefano Lubiana Blanc De Blancs 2016

The 2016 Blanc de Blanc is crafted following the méthode traditionnelle, with 7 years on lees and over 12 months under cork pre-release, which promotes complexity. The natural viticulture, low yields and extended lees maturation create a sparkling wine with a flinty, mineral nose reminiscent of slate and earth, with underlying fresh apricot, orange rind and spice. The palate is a zesty combination of lemon curd and quince with leads to buttered brioche and roasted almonds. The fresh acidity dries the wine giving it an exceptional line and length supported by an abundance of mineral complexity.
