## Food pairing

The wine's lively acidity and crisp finish cut through richer textures and complement the natural sweetness of seafood. Its delicate fruit notes can bridge with the subtle sweetness of fruits or the savory character of cured meats.

## Wine making process

Lamborghini Brut ICE is produced using white vinification techniques, starting with a soft pressing of the grapes. The primary fermentation is followed by a secondary fermentation in tank using the Martinotti-Charmat method. This process is designed to create a sparkling wine with a fine and persistent perlage. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 4 to 6 months before bottling.
