Description

The Classic Method Carricante Brut Sparkling Wine from Planeta comes from the Montelaguardia vineyard, in the heart of the town of Castiglione di Sicilia.

It is produced exclusively with Carricante grapes, harvested early in order to preserve the acidity. After a soft pressing and a decanting of the must, the grapes ferment at a controlled temperature of 15 °C for about 15 days. Subsequently the wine remains on the fine lees for about 15-18 months and then disgorgement is carried out.

It is characterized by a straw yellow colour, with greenish reflections and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose opens with elegant aromas of white flowers, enriched by pleasant shades of green grass. On the palate it is pleasantly sapid, with a delicate mineral freshness.

Perfect to accompany aperitifs and fish dishes, it is ideal in combination with raw fish, shellfish and seafood.
