"Just 6,891 bottles of this long lees-aged sparkling wine have been produced in memory of what would have been Bruno Lunelli's 100th year. A 100% Chardonnay Extra Brut, it has pronounced aromas of orange flowers, yellow peach, ginger, baked apple, subtle almond pastry and toasted hazelnuts. Generous and with finesse, a weighty mid-palate with intense flavours is balanced by integrated vibrant acidity. It has a creamy texture with an infinitely long finish. Complex, deep, mature, light, and with very long persistence, it provides a subtle link between strength and finesse. A gastronomic wine suitable for the most celebrated moments in life."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
