APPELLATION: Lessini Durello Riserva DOC Spumante Wine - Metodo Classico

REGION: Veneto
SHORT_DESC: Durella is an ancient and indigenous grape variety from the Veneto region. It is extremely vigorous, with a particularly thick and leathery skin, cultivated on soils rich in minerals. A variety typically found in the Lessini Mountains, it grows on the hills between the provinces of Vicenza and Verona; it is capable of creating wines with remarkable acidity due to the high content of malic acid, lending itself well to Metodo Classico sparkling wine.
OVERVIEW_VARIETAL: 100% Durella Grapes
OVERVIEW_PROCESS: soft pressing occurs at a temperature between 10-12°C. The first fermentation takes place in thermo-controlled tanks, here, the temperature can range from 15-18°C. In April the wine then undergoes second fermentation using its own yeasts
OVERVIEW_SERVING_TEMP: ideally served at 4-6° C in a glass to enhance all its characteristics
OVERVIEW_ALCOHOL: 12.50%
PROFILE_COLOR: A deep yellow, definitively golden
PROFILE_NOSE: characterised by complex layers, with a foundation of mature ripe fruit and a fine sweetness of fresh pastries. Great expressiveness: exotic fruit, ripe pineapple, peaches in syrup and sweet spices
PROFILE_FINISH: the flavour underscores its aromatic expressions. The wine is round, creamy, with consistent bubbles and strong notes of fresh pastries. Fine, fruity and persistence with recognizable minerality
PAIRING: Excellent with a scallop risotto or seabass made with a fried potato. A provocative combination is with Chantilly creampuffs
