Extra Brut
The blending of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties results in our Extra Brut, a sparkling wine with an excellent consistency and an appealing acidity well balanced with the structure. It is the perfect choice for your aperitifs, but it can be savoured during the whole meal and delightfully combined with cold cuts, especially with mortadella.

Excellent consistency and creaminess, soft and sapid taste, good balance between acidity and wine structure, long and persistent flavour with notes of white fruit, slightly vegetal, balsamic, with an aftertaste of nougat with hazelnuts.
It is the right choice for your aperitifs, but can also be savoured during the whole meal and delightfully combined with cold cuts (especially with mortadella), white meat, beef carpaccio, seawater fish, shellfish and caviar.

The Marsanne and Chardonnay varieties give life to a straw yellow wine with a pleasant fruity smell. Pietragaia is beautifully combined with fish, white meat and soft cheese.
Brut Rosé
The Brut Rosé sparkling wine originates from varieties of Pinot Noir entirely selected in France. Ideal for the aperitif, Brut Rosé can pleasantly accompany the whole meal.
Brut 412
Brut 412 is a sparkling wine born from the combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Its good structure and well-balanced acidity create a long and sweet aftertaste. We recommend it with appetisers and snacks, but also with fish specialities and finger food.
Rivabriosa
Rivabriosa originates from the local Ortrugo variety. Bright straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections, it is savoury and pleasant with a tingling freshness on the tongue. Its elegant effervescence is very well matched with DOP cured meats and combines perfectly with butter and sage ravioli.
Gandinaia
The prevalence of Syrah combined with typical local varieties gives life to a ruby red coloured wine with a floral and fruity flavour. With an excellent well-balanced structure, Gandinaia matches perfectly with first courses of the Emilian cuisine, game, red meat and aged cheese.
