Scacciapensiero is a white, sparkling, unfiltered wine with no added sulphites.
To the eye it appears light yellow, cold and slightly cloudy (thanks to the presence of yeasts that generate refermentation in the bottle).
The bubbles are fine and persistent.
The marked and fresh acidity allows for carefree and natural drinking.
