DOC Lessini Durello Riserva
Description

Dedicated to the founder of the company, it is the product of the Dal Cero brothers' great passion for the classic method. The Durella grape is very acidic and needs long ageing to be "tamed", hence the long ageing on the lees of Augusto, a classic method sparkling wine with a fine, long and persistent bubble.
The expression of the Dal Cero style: mineral, intense, unique.
A passion, a revelation with every sip...
