## Food pairing

The wine's crisp acidity and minerality cut through the richness of seafood and creamy sauces, while its subtle fruit notes complement lighter proteins. The Extra Brut style makes it versatile for dishes with delicate flavors.

## Wine making process

Piot Sévillano Tradition Extra Brut is produced using the traditional Champagne method. The grapes are fermented, likely in stainless steel tanks, followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create effervescence. While specific details on aging vessels and duration are not provided, grower Champagnes often undergo extended lees aging. The winemaking approach focuses on expressing the characteristics of the Meunier grape and the specific terroirs from which the grapes are sourced.
