Vinification: after grapes harvest, the grapes and the entire bunches of grapes are pressed softly to obtain the “flower must”. Then the static cold decantation of the must follows, to eliminate all solid parts on the surface. With the inoculation of selected yeasts, the fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 16°C. The second fermentation is obtained with long Charmat method, where the wine is kept in autoclave (tank), resting on the lees for about 9 months. This process gives to the product a fine and elegant perlage, with very fine and pleasant bubbles. Furthermore, this method provides to the wine a more important structure and a more complex sensory profile, more similar to sparkling wines produced with champenoise method; broad, complex, with notes that evoke the refermentation.

Description: Wine produced by fungus resistant grape varieties. Blend of Fleurtai, Soreli e Sauvignon Kretos. These varieties were created by crossing European, and American grape varieties and are resistant to the downy and powdery mildew, the two most common vines diseases, moreover, have greater ability to withstand drought.
