Nicosia Sosta Tre Santi Etna Brut
Nerello Mascalese grapes, grown at high altitudes on volcanic soil, turn out to be a great base for the production of classic method sparkling wine. Sosta Tre Santi Etna DOC Brut is the result of a long and careful production process. It took at least 30 months of ageing on lees in the bottle to produce a sparkling wine that represents, in an authentic way, the unique characteristics of Nerello and the Etna terroir.

Perlage

Fine and persistent.

Colour

Straw-yellow

Bouquet

Complex and elegant bouquet with fruity and floral notes, and characteristic scents of bread crust and yeast.

Flavour

It stands a great minerality and remarkable acidity.
