To enjoy a toast, as an aperitif or during a meal, this sparkling wine is obtained from a long lag phase with the Charmat method, which gives it a fine perlage.
Only the best bunches are gently crushed and then the free-run must is vinified at controlled temperature.

Agape, our sparkling brut, is produced by blending two different vines: Biancame, a traditional variety, which gives the wine a good acidity, and Chardonnay, an international grapevine which, grown on our hills, gives it excellent body and flavour. In Agape  they are superbly balanced and the result is one of our favourite  products which has received enormous success and appreciation.
