Winemaking & Style

 

• Winemaking Method: Charmat Method (fermentation in stainless steel tanks).
• Process: The entire process is meticulously designed to preserve the primary fruit character and vibrant freshness of the grape. The controlled second fermentation in pressurized tanks results in a soft and delicate effervescence (Frizzante), rather than an intense one (Spumante), making it lighter and easier to drink.
• Style: Vino Frizzante (Gently Sparkling White), dry, fresh, and unpretentious.

Sensory Profile (Tasting Notes)

 

• Eye 👀: An attractive, very pale straw-yellow color with brilliant greenish reflections that signal its youth and freshness. It displays a fine, subtle, and persistent effervescence that dances in the glass.
• Nose 👃: Clean, direct, and very expressive. It unfolds a basket of intense orchard fruit aromas, highlighting crisp green apple, juicy Bartlett pear, and delicate notes of white acacia flowers and a touch of fresh melon.
• Palate 👄: A vibrant and sparkling entry that awakens the palate. It is a light-bodied wine with a crunchy, perfectly integrated acidity that makes it supremely refreshing. It confirms the citrus and white fruit flavors, leaving a clean, dry, and lively finish that invites another sip.
