Monte Tondo’s Lessini Durello Riserva is an elegant, zero-dosage sparkling wine with a pale straw color and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose offers a sobriety of fresh bread dough, bright lemon, yellow apple, and pear, leading to a palate that is crisp, saline, and distinctly mineral with notes of flint. Its structure is taut and refined, balancing citrus zest with the warm, brioche-like depth of its 36-month lees aging. This wine rivals the sophistication of a classic Champagne Blanc de Blancs while showcasing the unique volcanic character of the Lessini hills.
Serve it chilled as an aperitif or pair it with light seafood dishes like grilled scallops or oysters to highlight its briny freshness.
