Malvasia
Sparkling

The grapes
100% Malvasia cultivated “a guyout” and harvested in the second ten days of September.

Winemaking
The grapes are stemmed and the must, together with the skins, is cold macerated for 24 hours in order to extract the majority of the aromas without allowing fermentation to start. Then there is separation of the pomace from the must, which is decanted and fermented at a controlled temperature. When the fermentation is almost complete, 10/15 (g/l of sugar) is decanted, filtered and kept at a low temperature (2/4°C).

Bottling
After refermentation in the autoclave, the wine is microfiltered and bottled immediately.

Organoleptic characteristics
In the glass it is sparkling, yellow in colour and fairly viscous. To the nose it is aromatic, fragrant, intense with strong hints of fruit and a delicate hint of almond. On the palate it is smooth, well-bodied, balanced.

Accompaniments
Ideal as an aperitif or drunk on its own.

Technical notes
The wine has an alcohol content of 11.5% vol and should be served in white burgundy-type glasses at a temperature of 8°C. Bottles should be stored horizontally away from light and in a very cool place (refrigerated if possible). As it is an aromatic wine, it is best drunk within 6/8 months.
