Tasting notes:
Citrus and green apple aromas, with hints of stone fruit. The palate has more delicate citrus and grapey notes with zesty acidity and a soft and appealing finish.
About the wine:
From selected parcels of Glera grapes grown north-east of Treviso. Hand harvested at optimum ripeness to give the required balance between aromatics and good acidity. A gentle pneumatic pressing followed by slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel. Second fermentation takes place in tank, over 4 weeks.
About the producer:
Established in 2003, Adria Vini is a winemaking venture jointly owned by Boutinot and Araldica Castelvero, the leading co-operative in the Monferrato hills of Piemonte. The aim is to produce authentic, well-priced still and sparkling wines from local grape varieties. All aspects of production, from grape selection through to vinification, maturation, blending and bottling are meticulously overseen by Araldica's winemaking team of Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese - assisted by Boutinot's Tony Brown MW. Sourced from a range of private growers and cooperatives, with whom they have long term relationships, principally in Veneto, Friuli, Lombardy, Sicily, Puglia, Abruzzo and Sardinia.
