The area benefits from marked diurnal temperature variation and a diverse landscape shaped by the interplay of mountains and nearby water bodies, including sea influences, lakes and rivers, creating ideal conditions for quality viticulture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVarieties are selected based on high natural acidity, lower sugar levels and optimal phenolic ripeness, key criteria for this sparkling blend. The grapes undergo a 12-hour pre-cooling period prior to pressing.
