Product details
The grapes are pressed intact and only the run-off must is used. This is followed by cold static decanting for 24 hours, after which the must is separated from the lees. Fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 16ºC. After the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged on the fine lees for 2 months. The method used to prepare the sparkling wine is the Classic Method, with the second fermentation in the bottle. After preparing the base wine, tirage liqueur is added and then bottling takes place. Sparkling wine is then fermented at 12ºC in the cellar. This is followed by ageing, which takes as long as necessary to reach the desired level of quality. Before commercialisation, the wine is racked and disgorged, ending with the addition of the expedition liqueur, carefully selected according to the vintage.
