Tasting notes
Our intent is to blend them by seeking an elegant balance in which the best characteristics of both varietals are interwoven. Sophia is a Metodo Classico that rests on the lees in the bottle for at least 30 months before being disgorged. A sparkling wine of great personality, with intense aromas of apple and hazelnuts, vibrant freshness and a fine, persistent perlage.
