International variety widely appreciated and grown all over the world and at all latitudes. The wine is sometimes matured in oak barrels for short periods of time, influencing its appearance, aromas and flavours. Its unique varietal qualities are then further exalted during in-bottle maturation, sometimes lasting several years. The full velvety flavour of this wine, together with notes of yeast and bread crust, make it ideal for those occasions which call for a wine with a strong character.
