The Cricova Winery, founded in 1952, has the second largest wine cellar in the world (also known as the Cricova Underground City) and has been involved in producing Sparkling wine since the beginning. The Cricova Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut is crafted based on the Methode Champenoise with second-in bottle fermentation for a minimum of 24 months. Elegant with fine bubbles, light yellow straw color, delicate aromas, fruitiness and fine minerality of the taste. Very balanced and light on the palate.

Excellent on its own and a great companion to oysters, salmon or black caviar, cheeses and walnuts or almonds, but also pairs well with more complex dishes like pasta or risotto.

Serve chilled, at about 8 degrees Celsius.
