Description
The Gran Cuvèe Vino Spumante Dolce della Contessa di Castiglione is an excellence in the panorama of sweet Italian sparkling wines. A carefully selected cuvée, it is the result of a skilful combination of grapes harvested from the most suitable vineyards, thus guaranteeing a product of undisputed quality.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Brilliant straw yellow colour. Fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it is characterised by an intense and varied aromatic bouquet. Notes of ripe fruit such as peaches and apricots blend with floral nuances and a light touch of honey, offering an inviting bouquet that is never cloying. On the palate, it is sweet but balanced, thanks to a freshness that well balances the initial sweetness. The fine bubbles caress the palate, introducing flavours that mirror the olfactory aromas with the addition of delicate citrus notes that enrich the taste.
Storage time:
2-5 years
Vinification
After the first vinification, the base wine is transferred to an autoclave for frothing and second fermentation according to the Martinotti or Charmat method. Fermentation is interrupted by lowering the temperature to leave a residual sugar
