Description
What kind of wine it is
Astoria Cuvée Fashion Victim Brut is a sparkling wine that fully expresses the character of the Veneto region. The result of a careful blend of Glera grapes, it appears in the glass with a bright straw yellow colour enhanced by greenish highlights. The bouquet is ethereal and delicate, enriched with notes of white-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it reveals a fresh, dry and full-bodied sip, with a harmonious flavour enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. This Brut shows remarkable versatility, proving to be an excellent accompaniment for seafood starters, shellfish, white meats, fresh cheeses and pizza.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced at the Val de Brun Estate, nestled among the hills of Prosecco in Veneto. The vineyards are cultivated using the Sylvoz system and host vines aged between eight and twelve years, ensuring balanced yields. The rows benefit from an orientation that favours optimal sun exposure, which is essential for the ripening of the grapes. The manual harvest takes place in September and is carried out during the coolest hours, a crucial practice to preserve the natural freshness and delicate aromatic component of the grapes until they reach the winery.
How it is produced
In the winery, gentle pressing of the grapes is followed by a brief cold maceration. After static decantation, the must undergoes primary fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, enriched by contact with selected yeasts. The base wine matures on the fine lees before the prise de mousse in autoclave. This stage follows the Charmat Method and lasts about twenty days, with a further rest on the lees to give greater depth of flavour. A delicate cold stabilisation prepares the wine for the final ageing in bottle, which seals in its pure aromas and dry finish.
