Nose
Fresh and elegant, with fruity notes of
apples and peaches that make it very
appealing indeed
Palate
Tangy, attractively acidulous and with a
dry finish
Growing Conditions
Made from a special selection of grapes from
vineyards lying in the upper hills of Farra di Soligo,
Farrò, Solighetto and San Pietro di Feletto.
The soils are a mixture of clay and limestone (180 -
300 meters above sea level), and the vine training
systems used are “Double-Arched Cane” and
“Sylvoz”, with a plant density of 3000-3700 vines
per hectare. The vineyards are cultivated directly by
LA FARRA.
Harvest
Yield per hectare: Maximum of 13500 kilos per ha
Harvest: By hand, in the last ten days of September
Winemaking
Traditional white wine vinification with
soft pressing; fermentation is slow and lasts
approximately 15 days, at a controlled temperature
of 18° C; subsequently the wine is racked and stored
at low temperatures in thermo-regulated stainless
steel tanks.
This is carried out using the Charmat Method, the
process traditionally used for delicate, fruity wines.
The prise de mousse takes place in pressurized
tanks for some 25-30 days at a temperature of 16-18°
C, while maturation (also in these autoclaves) lasts
for between 3 and 4 months.
- Pressure: 4.8 bar
Appearance
Bright straw yellow, with extremely fine
bubbles
Food Pairing
Excellent as an aperitif, it also goes extremely well
with fish dishes and light, delicately-flavored hors
d’oeuvres and pasta or rice dishes.
