Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a lively, polished mousse and a pale, inviting color. The nose is fresh and expressive, with aromas that lean toward crisp orchard fruit, citrus, and delicate floral notes, giving it a clean and lifted character. On the palate, it is vibrant and refreshing, with a fine bead and a dry, approachable style that balances brightness with subtle texture. The finish is crisp and energetic, making it a sparkling wine best enjoyed while youthful, when its freshness and charm are at their peak. Aging potential is moderate at best; this is a wine designed to be enjoyed young.

Production
Produced in Veneto, a region shaped by a long tradition of sparkling wine and a climate well suited to retaining freshness, Sehnsucht+ 2023 likely draws on carefully managed vineyards and a vinification approach focused on preserving aromatic purity and finesse. The result is a clean, precise sparkling style that emphasizes freshness and balance rather than heavy extraction or oak influence.

Food & Serving
This sparkling wine works beautifully as an aperitif and pairs well with light dishes such as seafood, sushi, shellfish, fresh salads, and delicate risottos. Serve well chilled at around 6-8°C, and decanting is not recommended—open and enjoy while the bubbles are at their liveliest.
