- A crisp and refreshing with a fine and persistent bubble. It has aromas of white peach, elderflower, and delicate hints of sage. The wine is beautifully balanced with a charming and zesty finish. The grapes were gently pressed to make this wine, and only the free-run juice was used. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with carefully selected yeasts at around 16°C, which helped to preserve the freshness and fruity aromatics. The secondary fermentation to produce the delicate mousse took place in an autoclave using the Charmat method. The wine rested in the autoclave for one month on the lees, adding texture to the wine.

| Winery | The vines are grown in the heart of the Salento region in Puglia. The vineyard is 100 metres above sea level, where the vines benefit from high average daily temperatures, low rainfall, and significant diurnal temperature differences. Maritime breezes ensure the vines are well-ventilated, healthy and dry. The warm weather during the ripening period provides excellent conditions for the grapes to accumulate good sugar levels and reach optimum maturity, while the cool nights retain natural, balancing acidity and encourage expressive aromatics. The soils are mixed and calcareous, which helps accentuate the grapes' aromatics and freshness. The vines are Guyot trained, which enables the vines to produce the optimum yield to retain a good acidity level. Additionally, the grapes are harvested earlier than usual, during the beginning to middle of August, to encourage the preservation of acidity levels; good acidity levels are essential for quality sparkling wine. The fruit is hand-picked early in the morning into small baskets to retain the integrity of the bunches and aromatics. The varieties used in this wine include predominantly Chardonnay, along with native Italian white grape varieties such as Malvasia Bianca and Fiano Minutolo, which impart the distinctive Italian flair to this fresh sparkling wine. |
