It is characterised by an unusual marriage of freshness and aromatic complexity. Wild red berry fruit is evident on the nose, along with fascinating hints of blossoms, particularly wisteria and iris.

Before bottling it, it is afterwards re-fermented in an autoclave, with the help of selected yeasts until the alcohol content reaches 5,5° and the must assumes its typical vivacity.

Following some experiments conducted alongside the Bonafus Expermimental Cellar, Gilli Extra Dry was born in 2019. It is a rosé sparkling wine, where we find the irresistible floral bouquet and the aftertaste of small red fruits of the classic Malvasia Gilli.
