Nose
Fruity, with hints of apples and apricot notes; its complexity derives from its maturation on the lees and its subsequent evolution
Palate
Clean, tangy and well-balanced. It displays a marked sensation of freshness
thanks to its low sugar content
Growing Conditions
Produced exclusively from grapes from the “Rive dei Nardi” vineyard, situated in the upper hills of Farra di Soligo in the hamlet of Collagù. The soil is a mixture of clay and limestone (220-300 m above sea level), and the training system used is Guyot, with a plant density of 3700 vines per hectare. The vineyard is cultivated directly by LA FARRA.
Harvest
Resa: Maximum of 13000 kilos per ha
Harvest: By hand, in the last ten days of September
Bottling
75 cl “Spumante Italia” bottle
Winemaking
Traditional white wine vinification with soft pressing at a temperature of 16° C.; fermentation is slow (lasting around 15 days), at a controlled temperature of 18° C; subsequently the wine is racked and stored in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, where they mature at low temperatures.
- Pressure: 5 bar
Sparkling wine production is carried out using the Charmat Method, the process traditionally adopted 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) is for at least 3 months on the lees and for a further 3 months after filtration.
Appearance
Bright straw yellow, with extremely fine, persistent bubbles
Food Pairing
Excellent as an aperitif, it is especially recommended with hors d’oeuvres, risottos and fish- or white meat-based dishes.
