Sophia

From approximately 5 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir planted on mid-hill slopes, the grapes destined for sparkling wine base wines are harvested even before mid-August. The blend follows the classic formula of prestigious sparkling wines: Pinot Noir, an early-ripening variety, brings aromatic complexity and structure when vinified as a white wine, while Chardonnay develops a rich array of aromas that lend harmony and softness. Our goal is to combine the two in pursuit of an elegant balance, intertwining the finest characteristics of both grape varieties. Sophia is a Metodo Classico sparkling wine that rests on the lees in bottle for at least 30 months before disgorgement. It is a sparkling wine of great personality, with intense aromas of apple and hazelnut, vibrant freshness, and a fine, persistent perlage.
