About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Italian growing environment is influenced by winds moving between the sea and mountains. Mineral-rich soils and a mild, sunny climate support even ripening and give the wine a fresh, elegant and lively character. Grapes are selected for both origin and quality.
Grapes
Glera and Chardonnay. Percentages are not specified.
Vinification
Free-run juice is held in stainless-steel tanks for cold static decantation. Selected yeasts conduct fermentation at a constant 18°C over 8–10 days. The winemaking team tastes the resulting wines and chooses the best lots for sparkling-wine production.
The selected wine is filtered into stainless-steel tanks, with sucrose and selected yeasts added for the second fermentation. This takes place by the Martinotti–Charmat method at 14–15°C. Once the intended pressure, alcohol and sugar levels are attained, the wine is refrigerated and cold-stabilized at −2 to −3°C, filtered, checked and bottled.
