Tasting note

An intense and pretty nose dominated by fresh wild strawberries, raspberries, and crushed rose petals. You may also pick up hints of musk and geranium. It is Light-bodied and effervescent. It tastes like sweet red berry sorbet, with a soft mousse and just enough acidity to keep the sugar from feeling cloying.

Vinification

Juice is fermented in stainless-steel pressure tanks (autoclaves). It is stopped early by chilling down the fermenting juice once it has reached 5-6%ABV. This leaves a high degree of residual sugar, making the wine sweet. The carbon dioxide produced y the brief fermentation is captured by the sealed tank, leaving a ‘frizzante’ quality.

Food Match

Fresh strawberries and cream is the ultimate combination. Also pairs well with Fruit tarts, dark chocolate-covered berries, spicy Asian cuisine.
