Merkki: Vini La Valle

La Valle® “Naturalis”, the pure wine, the most “natural” since it is enriched with only a minimal dose of sugar in the final stage of its creation. An extra brut that is the expression of the rigor of the La Valle® line and the perfection that accompanies every phase of its vinification. Fruit of a meticulous selection and a harmonious assembly of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero, Naturalis is a prestigious millésime created only in the years of true excellence indicated on the label; it rests in the darkness and silence of the La Valle cellars for at least 30 months.

“Naturalis” is a refined and sincere wine of strong character, exquisitely fresh and incisive, regal, pure and intense in spirit, that expresses with charm and elegance all its naturalness; it is a precious, unique nectar.

It is an important and refined aperitif and a splendid companion for shellfish, white meat, and game.
