Description

The Millesimato Brut of Donnafugata comes from vineyards located on the Contessa Entellina estate, in the heart of south-western Sicily.

It is produced with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, carefully picked and selected by hand, in the first week of August. After a first fermentation in steel at a temperature of 15-16 ° C, there is a second fermentation in the bottle according to the Classic Method. Subsequently this sparkling wine ages on the lees for a period of 30 months.

It is characterized by a bright straw yellow color and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose opens with fine notes of bread and hay crust, enriched with notes of flowers and dried fruit. In the mouth there are hints of yeast combined with notes of vanilla, accompanied by a good complexity and freshness.

Excellent as an aperitif, this sparkling wine is perfect to serve with vegetarian fries, fish crudités and shellfish.
