Nose
Different depending on the moment. From fresh and fruity notes
typical of Prosecco that are felt at the end of fermentation,
combined with the characteristic "bread crust", it passes gradually over time
to increasingly complex notes derived from contact with yeast.
Palate
As with the scent, gentle fruity flavors are perceived at first
combined with delicate hints of yeast. Later more complexity.
Dry and pleasantly bitter taste.
