Mare Santo
Sparkling wine Cuveé Prestige

Description

Aged 24 months at 20 meters below the Adriatic, this elegant white blend absorbs the sea’s quiet pressure and mineral energy - resulting in a refined, luminous taste. Light yellow with green reflections, its continuous perlage carries notes of cedar and green apple. Fresh and elegant on the palate, it offers a clean, crisp finish that mirrors its underwater serenity.


Each bottle develops a one-of-a-kind sea patina and is presented in a custom-designed gift box.


A signed Certificate of Authenticity completes the experience, affirming the rarity and origin of every Cuvée Prestige.
