About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown on the hills of Asti, in a UNESCO-recognized area. Cuvage's 200 ha of vineyards have clay, carbonate, marl and white limestone soils. Integrated pest management is practised, and bunches are selected for the company's sparkling wines.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes undergo a slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 13–14 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for at least 24 months.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif.

Label / history

Cuvage was founded in 2011 in Acqui Terme, in the province of Alessandria. Its name combines “Cuvée” and “Perlage.”
