Info about the expansion
Cool pre-fermentation, then direct, gentle pressing of the whole grapes. Fermentation of the grapes 80 percent in stainless steel and 20 percent in oak barrels. Aging of the wine 50 percent in stainless steel and 50 percent in wood. Tirage takes place with Grillo sweet must. Maturation sur lattes at least over 18 months. Minimum sulphur dosage of5 mg/l.
Color/Look
Cloudy golden yellow with delicate green inclusions, fine bubbly mousseux.
Nose
The nose of the Terzavia Brut Nature is extraordinary for an Italian sparkling wine. Short yellow apple, underlaid with fragrant blossoms, yeast, honey and a little vanilla foam unite with a clear smoky note, sea breeze and mussel shells. The more air it gets, the more complex it shows itself.
Palate
Juicy, almost a little quaffable with stimulating, creamy and charming perlage, it spoils the palate with delicate iodine and fine spicy inclusions. An extremely drinkable companion. Its spicy aftertaste whets the appetite for small delicacies in the form of antipasti.
