Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from San Marzano in Salento, Puglia, at approximately 100 m above sea level. Conditions include high average temperatures, very low rainfall and marked day-to-night temperature variation. The mixed soils tend toward calcareous. Vines are Guyot-trained at a density of 4,000 plants per hectare.
Grapes
A blend of native white grapes from Salento.
Vinification
Harvest takes place by hand in the early morning during the first ten days of August. Picking is slightly advanced to protect acidity. Whole grapes are gently pressed, and only the first 55% of free-run must is retained. This fraction ferments at low temperature before secondary fermentation in autoclave by the Charmat method.
Ageing
After the prise de mousse, the wine remains in autoclave on its own yeasts for approximately one month, followed by time in bottle at controlled temperature.
Technical data
Alcohol: 11.5% vol. Non-vintage. Ideally consumed within two years of harvest.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow with distinct greenish reflections and a fine, persistent perlage. The intense, pleasant nose features white peach, elderflower and aromatic sage. Fresh and lively on the palate, with a rounded, balanced profile and an expressive, approachable character.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 6°C. Suitable as an aperitif and with seafood starters or first courses.
Label / history
“Liboll” reflects the Puglian way of referring to bubbles. This fresh, lively Charmat-method sparkling wine is intended for informal aperitifs and other occasions calling for sparkling wine.
