A sparkling wine obtained with a second fermentation in bottle, Metodo Classico.
VINEYARD
The grapes selected for the cuvée are grown exclusively in the vineyards of the locality Zell, in Trento, at the altitude of 500 above the sea level, an area which is renowned for the cultivation of grapes for the production of sparkling wines.
The vines are planted according to the “girapoggio” system, literally translated “around the hilltop”, on a big natural terrace with a southern exposure, towards the Adige valley; the soil is not very deep, it is draining and rich of slivers of marly limestone.
DESCRIPTION
Intense straw yellow in colour, with a fine and persistent perlage.
Clean-cut on the nose, with hints of flowers and yeast, elegant, with a light note of bread crust. Well-balanced on the mouth, with a fine mineral note and a good structure. Thanks to its fine notes and its persistence it can accompany both formal events and parties.
Serving temperature: 8-10°C.
