Santa Margherita's vineyard selection from the Rive di Refrontolo was previously released as a Brut but now comes as Extra Brut, an indication of the general trend among leading producers to reduce sugar levels. Refermented by the 'Charmat Lungo' method, this has a nose of sour apple and Mediterranean scrub, with great texture on the mid-palate and a long minerally finish. Definitely a food wine to match with risotto or baked fish.
