Winemaking
Off dry sparkling wine produced using the Martinotti method.
After soft pressing, the cloudy must is left to settle at a cool temperature (about 12 °C) in steel tanks and then the clear part is separated from the deposit and the fermentation is started. Fermentation takes
place in steel tanks at a constant temperature of 16°C for 15-20 days. At the end of the vinification the basic wine is obtained.
The sparkling process is carried out using the Martinotti/Charmat method: the base wine, after resting over winter on the yeasts is put into autoclaves where with refermentation the wine reaches a pressure of 5 atmospheres. The sparkling process takes at least 30 days, then - after a filtration to
eliminate the yeasts - it is bottled.
Appearance
Straw pale yellow colour with greenish reflections; bright and with a fine and persistent perlage.
Food Pairing
Ideal with dry pastries, tarts, and fruit skewers. Also suitable for more daring combinations with hot croutons with colonnata lard or spicy
Asian cuisine.
