Lightly-sparkling white wine
Second fermentation in the bottle
Ancestral method, unfiltered
11% vol – 750 ml
 
A lightly sparkling wine obtained from Glera grapes grown in hillside vineyards situated at 370 meters above sea level. It is produced using the bottle fermentation method (“Col Fondo” – on its lees), an ancestral practice that imparts a unique and authentic character. This unfiltered wine undergoes refermentation in the bottle during the spring, in the Easter period, following the cycle of the waxing moon to favor its natural vivacity. After bottling, it is ready to be enjoyed after a period of 60-90 days.
 
Pale yellow with greenish hues. The aroma recalls toasted bread crust with delicate notes of apple and citrus.
 
On the palate, the wine is dry, complex and pleasant with its typical notes of yeast and fruit. Lightly salty and very mineral on the finish.
 
Can be served clear by leaving the lees deposited or slightly opaque, with a slight shake of the bottle for a more rustic, decisive flavor.
 
Serving Temperature: 8° – 10° C
