100% Aglianico from the Alto Salento countryside.
The grapes are hand harvested in boxes and processed intact directly in the press. After a short cold maceration on the skins for 6 hours soft pressing is carried out, followed by 25 days of fermentation then vinified using the "metodo classico" to obtain the base wine which is then bottle fermented for 2 months. The wine then spends 46 months on the lees before disgorgement.
In the glass it is a soft pink with hints of copper color. The nose is layered with aromas of spiced plum, cherry, brioche and red flowers. On the palate the bubbles are soft and creamy with persistent perlage, bright flavors of cherry and plum, followed by a long refreshing crispy finish.
Ideal Pairings: Great with Seafood and Shellfish, also perfect with Salumi and Medium-Aged Cheeses.
