The Vigneti Le Monde dazzles the senses with notes of young strawberries, dusty rose, crushed stone minerality, and hints of sage. Soft textures wash across the senses, carried by a stimulating mix of fine bubbles and zesty acids, giving way to floral-laced red fruits with a hint of savory spice. The finish buzzes with minerals, salty in nature, mixing with a crisp note of sour apples and making the mouth water. 2020 – 2022

Full bottle 1,555 g. Charmat method. 100% Pinot Noir. On lees for 60 days in small stainless-steel tanks. RS 6 g/l. This is vintage 2023 although it’s not on the label.
Pale coral-toned pink. Cherry-blossom nose. Fresh apples and delicate bubbles, delicate crunchiness. There is something a little bit negroni-like on the finish, which is appetising and attractive.
