Tasting note

Info on sparkling wine:

100 percent Grillo from 30-year-old vines, grown in Contrada Samperi near Marsala.

Removal Info:

Cool pre-fermentation, then direct, gentle pressing of the whole grapes. Fermentation of the grapes 80% in stainless steel and 20% in oak barrels. Tirage is done with Grillo sweet must. Maturation sur lattes for at least 18 months. Minimum sulphur dosage of5 mg/l.

Color/Look:

Cloudy golden yellow with delicate copper-coloured inclusions, fine sparkling mousse.

Nose:

The nose of the Terzavia Brut Nature is exceptionally complex and fine. Short yellow apple, underpinned by fragrant blossoms, yeast, honey and a little vanilla foam combine with a distinct smoky note, sea breeze and mussel shells. The more air it gets, the more complex it becomes.

Palate:

Juicy, with a stimulating, creamy and charming perlage, it pampers the palate with delicate iodine and fine spicy inclusions. An extremely drinkable companion. Its savoury finish whets the appetite for small delicacies in the form of antipasti. The finish immediately makes you want another glass.

Food pairing suggestions

• Artichoke frittata with olives (Vegetable & Vegetarian)
• Fried anchovies with lemon (fish)
• Pizzette with anchovies, Parma ham and green asparagus (meat)
