This idea was our guideline when Bruno produced this wine full of sunshine flavors and fragrant Mediterranean scents, lifted by gentle and airy bubbles.
Winemaking
Traditional winemaking process in stainless vessels with careful temperature control to protect the natural fruit flavors, typical of all varieties. Direct pressing and stalk removal at 5°C. Once the base wine blend has settled and is ready to be made into sparkling, it is transferred into our Charmat tanks. Temperature and mixing regimes are carefully planned and monitored over this very important part of the process and the sensors on the tank measure the progress of pressure build up in the tank. Once the wine has reached its target pressure the wine is chilled down in order to stabilize it and left to settle prior to isobaric bottling.

Tasting
Delicate freshly sliced lemon and grapefruit peel aromas play nicely with a biscuit dough note. The palate is light and airy in feel and concentration, offering pillowy bubbles, white grapefruit and pomelo. Fresh lime tones linger while a hint of sweet almond backs up the finish.
