Fongaro Etichetta Nera Lessini Durello Pas Dosé Riserva 2014
100% Durella grapes, a native and very ancient variety from the Veneto region, extremely vigorous, with particularly thick and leathery skin, cultivated on soils rich in minerality. Typical of the Lessini Mountains area, on the hills between the provinces of Vicenza and Verona, this grape variety yields wines with significant acidity due to their high malic acid content that is well suited to sparkling winemaking according to the Classic Method.

Perlage

Fine, creamy and persistent.

Colour

Straw yellow tending to golden.

Bouquet

On the nose, it is decidedly aged, opening pleasantly on light notes of bread crust and toast, then ripe yellow fruit, hazelnut, dried fruit and a pleasant minerality typical of the terroir.

Flavour

The fine perlage to the eye is all in the glass, not aggressive and of great elegance. In the mouth, it shows all its potential with a tasty and harmonious drinkability where citrus and dried fruit peep through.

Pairing

Interesting combinations can be created with smoked salmon accompanied by buffalo mozzarella or with fish soup.
