2017 Sparkling Wine

This finely crafted wine comes from Paolo’s vineyards in the iconic hamlet of Ogliano in Conegliano. Like the classic Valdobbiadene style, it is Extra Dry in style (between 12 and 17 g/l residual sugar), but the fermentation for this cuvée is longer, followed by three months’ aging developing more complex flavours. The nose is finely tuned with notes of green apple, flowers and perfume. The palate is robust and complex with peach, nectarine and a hint of fresh hazelnuts. Always a beautiful apéritif, it is also a fantastic partner for sushi and sashimi.

This aromatic blend (of Solaris, Bacchus, Reichensteiner and Rondo) is England’s first sparkling wine produced in the Charmat method (the process used for Prosecco). Deep pink, the wine has a fine mousse and aromas of forest fruits and cherry blossom. A proportion of the base wine is barrel-aged for four months, the time on lees adding wonderful texture and depth to the palate that bursts with juicy cassis and wild raspberry. Naturally zippy acidity makes this the perfect apéritif. Ready to drink now.
