ALCOHOL CONTENT
12% vol.

AVAILABLE SIZES
750 ml – 1500 ml

VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Nero d’Avola, cultivated on deep soils of dark clay at 300 metres above sea level, is harvested with a degree of sugar ripeness and acidity suitable for obtaining a fresh and mineral sparkling base. Soft pressing follows, which allows for the production of a white wine from black grapes, without the need for further processing. After a period of ageing on the lees of about 3-4 months, the base wine is made sparking in an autoclave (Charmat method), where it remains for another 3 months before being bottled.

TASTING NOTES
Colour: straw yellow with light reflections ranging from greenish to platinum. Fine and persistent bubbles.
Bouquet: delicate hints of cherry, hawthorn, elderberry and jasmine.
flavour: harmonious, fine, persistent and creamy.

The Nero d’Avola grapes come from limestone-clayey vineyards (trubi) at an average altitude of 330 metres above sea level. The must ferments together with the skins in steel at a temperature of 28-30°C for about 15 days. Malolactic fermentation follows, again in steel. The wine ages in 30 and 60 hl Slavonian barrels for 1 year and ages for a few months in the bottle.

bouquet: intense hints of almond flowers, violets and hints of myrtle, followed by a delicate spiciness and pleasant balsamic notes.
flavour: dry, delicate, with a fine structure and good persistence. The pleasant floral and balsamic notes perceived on the nose are perfectly matched on the palate.
