Spumante Brut Selim

Wines

Spell it backwards and you’ll find our muse: MILES. A sparkling tribute to Miles Davis, born on the sun-drenched hills of the Cilento coast, where our organic vineyards look out over the Mediterranean between ancient Greek temples and wild olive groves.

Selim riffs on tradition — native Fiano and Aglianico in place of the usual suspects — delivering bright citrus, white flowers, warm bread crust, and a saline snap of sea air. The bubbles are fine, the finish is dry, and the groove is irresistible. Pour it cold, play it loud. Salute!
