Grape variety
Chardonnay that has found a particularly suitable soil in the hills that surround the Valle dei Laghi.
Vineyards
located in the hilly areas that surround the Valle dei Laghi, fluvio-glacial soil composed of calcareous and gravelly-sandy material.
Harvest
from the end of August to the beginning of September, a careful harvest for a perfect balance between freshness, acidity and ripeness of the fruit.
Vinification & refinement
after the vinification and refinement of the sparkling wine base until the spring following the harvest, we proceed with the draft in the bottle. Thus begins the second fermentation in the bottle, starting a long period of maturation in contact with the yeasts which lasts for an average of 36 months. Slight movements of the bottle allow the yeasts to interact better with the other components of the wine, giving it unique characteristics. Finally, we proceed with disgorgement and a light dosage to maintain its absolute freshness and elegance.
Organoleptic characteristics
fine and persistent perlage, intense straw yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, a bouquet of great complexity and finesse opens, with hints of ripe cedar, orange peel, crunchy rennet apple that blend with fragrant memories of bread crust, almonds and light spicy hints. On the palate, it presents itself with a seductive entrance and a perfect balance of fruity, spicy and almond scents. An innate freshness and elegance that end with a long gustatory persistence that brings to mind the Valle dei Laghi.
