Sparkling wine of a very pale golden yellow with a fine and persistent perlage. A fragrant aroma of delicious bread crust, ripe fruit and vanilla accompanied by delicate hints of Mediterranean spices. The soft, well-balanced and lingering taste is intensely reminiscent of dried fruit and tasty toasted flavours.
How is the wine made?
Whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is
put into controlled temperature tanks, where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature of 17-19°C.
The wine remains in the tanks to age until the following spring.
After having created the cuvée by blending the two types of wine and having added the yeast cultures
selected in suitable proportions, the wine is bottled. The bottles are then stored in underground cellars
where the temperature and humidity are controlled.
Secondary fermentation takes place here and the sparkling wine ages in contact with the lees for at least
36 months. Disgorging is carried out after this period.Only after another two months of settling the
sparkling wine is ready to be marketed.
