Valdobbiadene Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero 2021

Apple
Lemon peel
Mixed nuts

Apple and lemon peel, with honey and mixed nuts in the aroma. Fine bubbles give each sip a gentle fizz, and the label confirms there is no residual sugar. Open it for a long catch-up when there is no rush to move on.

You'll notice the fine bubbles around the apple and lemon flavours.

If you like dry traditional-method bubbles with apple and citrus, start here.

Made by the traditional method, with 0 g/l residual sugar on the bottle label.

Bastia is a south-facing vineyard above San Pietro di Barbozza, at around 300 metres. Its clay-limestone soil rests on sandstone rich in marine fossils.

AT THE TABLE

Fried courgette flowers

The fine bubbles freshen the fried coating and leave room for the flowers.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Smoked trout on rye toast

The apple and lemon meet the rich fish; the bubbles keep each bite lively.

FOR SHARING

Parmesan biscuits with almonds

The savoury crunch echoes the wine’s nutty scent and suits its structure.

Also good

Salted almonds bring the nutty scent forward without weighing down the bubbles.

Skip

A sweet pudding will make the apple and lemon feel much sharper.
