Description

Gaudensius Blanc de Blancs by Firriato is a Metodo Classico sparkling wine that comes from an exclusive blend of Carricante and Chardonnay grapes, the first from the volcanic sandy soils of Etna of the Cavanera Etnea estate, the latter from the Borgo Guarini estate with more soils or less rich in skeleton. The maturation of the bunches is deliberately slowed down by increasing the leaf coverage of the vine rows, protecting the grapes from direct exposure to sunlight, thus promoting a greater concentration of aromatic substances.

The harvest takes place in mid-September for Carricante while Chardonnay is harvested already in the second decade of August. Vinification takes place traditionally in steel, then there is sparkling wine in the bottle which ends with a stop on the lees for at least 30 months inside a suggestive tunnel dug in the lava flow.

Golden straw yellow in the glass, embroidered with a fine and persistent perlage, it offers an elegant and complex olfactory bouquet, composed of hints of white-fleshed fruit, acacia and hazelnut flowers, enhanced by hints of honey and minerality. Polite and fine, it rests on a palate with good aromatic persistence.

Suitable for pairing with appetizers, it is perfect in the company of first and second courses based on fish.
