Wine

Information

At sight it has a shiny, straw yellow colour
with greenish reflections. Its perlage is fine,
constant and persistent. On the nose it is
intense with high fruity notes of citrus, cedar,
but also bread crust and yeast accompanied
by interesting wooden and mineral notes.
To the mouth it is dry and soft, particularly
fresh and tasty; well bodied and persistent on
the palate. Perfect as an aperitif, ideal with
fried vegetables, seafood hors d’oeuvres and
fish dishes in general. To be served at the
temperature of 8 °C

Winemaking:
After a short period in the refrigerating room,
the whole grapes go through a cold-pressing
process, followed by the fermentation at a
controlled temperature. After six months of
aging on the fine lees, the base is filtered
and re-inoculated with certified ORGANIC
yeasts and finally subjected to a secondary
fermentation inside the bottle. 18 to 24 months
“sur lie” permanence at a temperature not
higher than 15-18 °C, is required in order to
obtain a complex and mature sparkling wine.
After the disgorgement, 4 additional months
will be necessary for our wine to complete its
organoleptic process.
