Description
This cuvée is made from vineyards implanted in loamy clay soil of alluvial origin; this earth rich in minerals and micro-elements produces grapes that are perfect for this blend. It is cultivated on the Treviso hills where the climate is ideal for the correct ripening of the grapes. These are hand-picked in September at the peak of their ripening process. Fermentation happens in steel containers with selected yeast, then the wine is made sparkling in tanks, where the aromatic properties of this brut are magically enhanced; the resulting product is then bottled and left to age for a few weeks.
It is characterized by an intense bouquet, high acidity and thin and lingering perlage; all elements that make this sparkling wine unique and charming.
It is made from Pinot Grigio (80%) and Glera (20%) grapes.
Organoleptic Analysis
This brut is shiny and bright straw-gold, with a thin, delicate and persistent perlage. Its scent is elegant, characterized by notes of orange blossom and white-fleshed fruit, with a delicate bread crust-like finish. It feels dry to the palate with a soft and mouth-embracing body and a fruity aftertaste.
Food Pairing
A nice pre-dinner drink that pairs well with starters and fish or vegetarian dishes, both simple and heavily-seasoned ones. It should be tried with exotic dishes.
