ALTA LANGA DOCG “SIVÀ” 2019

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay

Alcohol: 13%

Production: 5000 bottles per year, 1400 bottles in this 36-month disgorgement Format: 0,75L - (1,5 not available with 36 months ageing)

Colour: Clear, fairly intense straw yellow with golden reflections. The perlage is very fine, quite persistent with fairly numerous bubbles.

Bouquet: intense and broad, fine, herbaceous, fruity of apple and pineapple bordering on apricot, and floral of elderflower, delicate crust of bread intertwined with a slight hint of beeswax.

Taste: sweetish, not very warm on entry but very smooth. In the mouth the bread crust immediately prevails, but then the fruitiness of apple and the warm sensation of pineapple, the spiciness of resin and beeswax. The mineral is very present. The delicate almond accompanies the sensation until the end of the persistence on the palate. Vibrant freshness on entry that then blends with the warm sensations mentioned earlier until it is lost, making this classic method soft and enveloping rather than straight and sharp, but never flat.

Quite savoury, full-bodied, fairly balanced and intense. Rather fine, ready to drink and harmonious.

Food pairings: Can be served both as an aperitif and to accompany the toasts of great occasions.

Serve at 8-10" C.

ALTA LANGA DOCG “SIVÀ” 2019 The 2019 vintage was marked by extremes of weather: on the one hand the long summer periods of extreme heat, and on the other hand the extraordinary rainfall episodes that helped to keep water available for the vines. The result is therefore a well-balanced product and, despite the extreme heat, well endowed with the characteristics of acidity and freshness for the production of a sparkling wine.
