White charmat method sparkling wine brut |
| History |
Vine of uncertain origin, the Pecorino has been grown for centuries in the central regions of Italy, especially Marche and Abruzzo, where it is known also with different denominations. The bunch is medium-small, cylindrical and elongated, with small, spherical, golden yellow berries and a strong skin. |
| Harvest |
The maturation is medium-early, and is usually harvested in mid September. |
| Vinification |
The whole grapes are chilled in our exclusive cooling tunnel with an immediate drop in temperature and consequent cold maceration of the skin peels; · After destemming, cold maceration on the skins in stainless steel vats and soft crushing in an inert environment at 0.7 bar; · Cold static decantation for 24 - 48 hours. |
| Ageing |
The must is kept in refrigerated tanks at a temperature close to 0°C, and is placed directly in the autoclave where, after the first fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature, the sparkling takes place using the Charmat method. Subsequent ageing in the bottle for 3 months. |
| Pairing |
In order to enjoy the wealth and complexity of the aroma, we suggest to drink this wine as an aperitif accompanied by various hors d’oeuvres. Ideal paired with flavours such as raw fish dishes such as tuna, squid or octopus or a turbot carpaccio or shell fish (not grilled) in general. A perfect accompaniment for fish risotto or pasta dishes, fresh cheeses and baked fish. |
