Product description: The grapes of the three varieties come from medium and high hillside vineyards, whose cultivation allows an average yield of 10 t/ha. The night storage
(of the Chardonnay and the Pinot Nero) in cold storage cells, followed by gentle pressing to obtain the pre-fermentation must, is followed by a careful vinification. The first
fermentation takes place separately by grape variety in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 14-16°C, followed by ageing on the fine lees until the following spring.
Then the different wines are blended, given the tirage dosage, bottled and fermented for the second time in the modern ageing cellar in a horizontal position at 10-12°C and
left in contact with the yeast for at least 40 months. No dosage is added during disgorgement, but the wine is topped up with wines from other bottles, so that this sparkling
wine is guaranteed not to have any extra sugar.
Organoleptic characteristics: The glass reveals a straw-yellow colour with golden reflections, enlivened by a fine, intense and persistent perlage. The aromas unfold in a
succession of citrus and bright fruits to medicinal herbs (mint) and forest aromas (fern, resin), finally revealing spicy hints (ginger, cardamom). On the palate, freshness and
dynamism dominate and the flavour development is influenced by the minerality that accompanies the entire sip, carried by a very fine and engaging carbonic acidity. The
finish is enticing in the clarity of its flavours, with notes of spices and dried fruits, and the tactile viscosity that compensates with smoothness for the lack of sugar.
Gastronomic recommendations: Its fullness of aromas and its versatility of taste and tactile qualities make this sparkling wine an accompaniment to the whole menu. It is
suitable both for reciprocal flavour accentuation in the context of intense hors d'oeuvres and intermediary dishes, especially seafood and shellfish, and also has the gift of
enriching the stimulation of dishes with particular texture (large fish or with firm flesh, white meat), with distinct saltiness (sea fish, caviar) and fascinating aromas (spicy
dishes). Exciting and amazingly fitting is its connection to exceptional recipes of Italian cuisine that are rich in fat and contain sauces.
