About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from selected hillside plots with favourable exposures. The soils are medium textured and calcareous-clay.

Grapes

Malvasia di Schierano and Malvasia Nera Lunga; the blend proportions are not specified.

Vinification

After gentle pressing, the free-run must is kept at low temperature until the secondary fermentation takes place in an autoclave. This method preserves an aromatic, fragrant and fresh sparkling-wine style.

Technical data

Average yield is 60 hl/ha. Alcohol is 6.50% vol. ± 0.5, total acidity 5.50 g/L ± 0.5, and residual sugar 110 g/L ± 10. The listed bottle format is 750 ml.

Tasting profile

A fairly pale cherry red. The characteristic aroma offers raspberry and blackberry notes. The palate is fresh and sweet, with persistent foam and a pronounced varietal character.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 8–10°C. Pair with desserts, cakes, panna cotta, fruit salad and dry pastries, particularly Brut e Bon, Savoiardi and Krumiri biscuits.
