Beschreibung
Extra Brut Classic Method sparkling wine from Alta Langa, Piedmont, 12.5% ABV, produced by Fontanafredda. 100% Chardonnay, 2021 vintage. A Blanc de Blancs that expresses the excellence of the Piedmont terroir, with a fine and persistent perlage. The grapes are harvested around the first ten days of September and brought to the winery in small perforated crates of 20 kg each. The grapes are gently and delicately pressed within hours of harvest using a press, and the resulting must is left to settle for 12-24 hours at 8-10°C (46-50°F). After sufficient time for proper clarification, the must is racked and brought to approximately 16°C (60°F) to facilitate the start of alcoholic fermentation, which lasts approximately a month. The intense aromas are reminiscent of dried fruit, bread crust, and honey. The flavor is fresh, fragrant, and creamy.
