Born from the assembly of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this wine is characterized by a refined elegance and a harmony of aromas and flavors that make it a unique experience for the palate. The production of Essence Nature is a long and laborious process, which requires great mastery and attention to detail. The grapes, hand-picked at the right degree of ripeness, are vinified separately to enhance their varietal characteristics.

Aging on the lees for at least 36 months gives the wine complexity and depth, while manual disgorgement guarantees excellent quality.
