Description
What kind of wine is it
Gelsomina Etna Metodo Classico Blanc de Noir Brut by Orestiadi is a white sparkling wine made from the vinification of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes. The process follows the Traditional Method, resulting in a glass with an intense straw yellow colour and brilliant greenish highlights. The bouquet is refined, characterised by typical notes of bread crust alongside mature floral scents. On the palate, it displays great balance, supported by a lively mousse and a fine, persistent perlage.
Where does it come from
This Sicilian blend originates in the Etna area, from vineyards cultivated at an altitude of 520 metres above sea level. The vines sink their roots into volcanic soil, a decisive agronomic element that defines the wine's identity, imparting a deep and well-defined taste texture. The combined effect of altitude and soil composition results in a pronounced structural elegance, enhancing the natural vocation of the grapes in this refined sparkling expression.
How is it produced
The production of this Brut uses the Traditional Method technique to ensure a sought-after aromatic complexity. After the prise de mousse, the wine undergoes thirty months of ageing on the lees, a crucial phase that consolidates its structure and the finesse of its effervescence. This long rest delivers a harmonious sip, making the sparkling wine an ideal companion at the table, excellent as an aperitif or paired with risottos, seafood dishes, shellfish and soft cheeses.
