Product details
The grapes are completely destemmed and pressed, using only the exhausted must. This is followed by cold static settling for 24 hours, after which the must is separated from the lees. Fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 14°C. After the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine ages on its fine lees for 2 months. The method used in the preparation of the sparkling wine is the classic method, with the second fermentation in the bottle. After preparing the base wine, tirage liqueur is added, followed by bottling. The sparkling wine production or second fermentation takes place at 12°C in the cellar. This is followed by aging, which takes the necessary time to reach the desired quality level. Before commercialization, riddling and disgorgement are carried out, and at the end of the process, no sugar is added, making this a Brut nature.
