Nose
The nose is intensely redolent of delicate notes of rose petals, lime blossoms, and wild berry.
Palate
The mousse expands with beautiful proportion in the mouth, giving the palate its crisp fruit nuances and a sense of exquisite balance.
Growing Conditions
Grapes: Manzoni Moscato (cross between Raboso Piave and Moscato d’Amburgo, both red grapes), grown exclusively in our estate vineyards Location: hills of Susegana Aspect: south Soils: predominantly clay, alternating with limestone, with medium admixture of pebbles
Harvest
Yield per hectare: 140 quintals Harvest period: 20-30 September
Winemaking
Vinification: the grapes are pressed and the juice is given a brief, 48-hour maceration on the skins, then the must is pressed off and given a low-temperature gravity settling and storage. The must then goes to steel pressure tanks for sparkling-wine fermentation. Secondary fermentation: the wine receives its effervescence through utilisation of the Martinotti-Charmat method, at a temperature of ca. 18°C. When the wine reaches an internal pressure of 5 atmospheres, it is filtered and bottled.
Aging
Maturation: in steel pressure tanks for 1-2 months.
Appearance
Then the eye is enchanted by a slender but dense bead of irrepressible pin-point bubbles that presage the wine’s appreciable crispness.
Food Pairing
Its smooth finish makes this wine perfect both as an aperitif wine as well as a versatile partner with a wide variety of fine dishes, ranging from seafood antipasti, salmon to the classic soups and lighter meat dishes.
