Fongaro Etichetta Viola Lessini Durello Metodo Classico Riserva Brut 2017
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 and persistent.

Colour

Deep gold yellow.

Bouquet

Olfactory impact of great intensity where notes of bread crust, peanut butter and hazelnut dominate. Then, floral notes arrive to enrich the bouquet, accompanied by sensations of exotic fruit, yellow grapefruit and lemon apple. Pleasant nuances of vanilla and sweet tobacco further enhance the wine's aromatic framework.

Flavour

The palate is dry, taut, soft, and velvety. The elegant freshness gives way to bursting notes of toast and exotic fruit that provide a harmonious and intense taste. Elegant and well-balanced finish.

Pairing

Highly appreciated as an aperitif accompanied by a 24/30 month Grana Padano cheese. It goes well with a dish of gnocchi with porcini mushroom sauce, a mushroom stew or a rabbit 'alla cacciatora'.
