NEGOZIO

Type of wine: Brut spumante dosé, classical method; vintage.

Grapes: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Vinification: The classical method requires many months and strictly follows the rules of classical spumante production, with 24-30 months of bottle fermentation followed by remuage on pupitres for 45 days; the wine then remains 1 month neck-down before disgorgement and a further 3 months aging before release.

Colour: intense straw yellow with slight golden hues.

Bouquet and flavour: Elegantly complex with hints of almond, hazelnut and a light nuance of breadcrust; very intense with a floral finish. Enveloping, with a delicate and long-lasting effervescence; fruity and with good structure, fresh and smooth acidity, leaving a hint of citrus on the finish.

Food affinities: An excellent aperitif, it can also be a unique choice for an entire meal. Deep-fried seafood and dishes; sea bream in a salt crust.

Serving: 8°-10°C (46-50°F). Preferably consumed fresh but can also keep for a few years in bottle.
