An air of sweet smoke and spice mixes with crushed yellow apples and hints of cardamom as the 2020 Brut Metodo Classico Lugana evolves in the glass. This shows lovely balance as juicy acidity mixes with a fine bead of silken bubbles. Salty mineral tones contrast ripe pit fruits on the palate. It finishes on a savory note, leaving an air of custard and nuances of almond paste that linger.
