Perlage

Perlage

Fine.

Profumo

Perfume

Great aromatic framework ranges from exotic fruit's ripe sweetness to smoky notes. It is reminiscent of roasted and salted nuts, peanut butter, hazelnut cream, soft butter, salted caramel and gianduja chocolate at times. Sweet spices are also not missing.

Colore

Color

Bright, shiny, gold.

Gusto

Taste

Full-bodied and powerful, but not intrusive, with great salinity, freshness and persistence. Excellent elegance thanks to toasted and dried fruit notes.

Serve at:

06 - 08 °C.

Longevity:

05 - 10 years

Charmat Method Sparkling Wines

Pairings

It pairs well with first courses and risottos. It also pairs with tasty and flavoursome dishes, perhaps with poultry seasoning, such as risotto with glazed quail. It is also excellent with white meats, such as veal with sauces.

Wine making In white, in a pneumatic press with a soft pressing of the whole grapes using only the first fraction. After static and physical separation of the impurities of the must at low temperatures, the inoculation of selected yeasts takes place for fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This is followed by racking and lowering the temperature to about 10°C to avoid malolactic fermentation. Once the liqueur de tirage has been added, the wine is bottled, corked with a crown cap and laid down in a pile for frothing.
