Typology: Sparkling Production area: San Lorenzo Isontino (GO) Grape variety: 100% Malvasia Istriana Harvesting: Manual, slightly ahead of the optimal harvest time in order to ensure the right freshness of the wine. Fermentation and refinery: the whole bunches are collected in boxes and directly subjected to soft pressing; only the first pressed must (about 50% of the must obtained) will be used to produce our fermented wine. This must is cold decanted for about 12-15 hours and then fermented at a controlled temperature at of 16-18 °C. The wine is then left on the fine lees (sur lies), which are periodically kept in suspension (periodic bâtonnage). In the following spring we proceed with the tirage; the secondary fermentation in bottle will last a few weeks and the bottles will lay flat in the cellar to age for a another 12-15 months before distribution. Temperature for Serving: 10°C Alcohol Percentage:13.5% Tasting notes: Fresh and delicate with light bubbles, fruit foward with notes of apple, pear and grapefruit. A second layer of fresh bread aromas. Serving Suggestions: Excellent as an aperitif, with semi-aged cheeses, with fish and white meat.
