Production area: Old selected vineyards in the municipalities of Orsogna, Filetto and Guardiagrele. The soils consist of fine-textured soils and generally with limestone substrate and sparse rocky outcrops. The thermal values characterize a rather warm environment, with low annual rainfall and very high temperature variations, a condition that has a beneficial influence on the quality of the grapes. Color: Wine with a straw yellow color with greenish reflections . Grape variety: 100% Trebbiano . Plant density and training system: 1600-1800 plants per hectare with Abruzzo pergola. Harvest period: First ten days of September Vinification: After harvesting the grapes, the whole berries and bunches, without being torn, are subjected to soft pressing from which the "must flower" is obtained. This is followed by the cold static decantation of the must, to eliminate the solid parts in suspension. With the inoculation of selected yeasts, fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 16 ° C. Alcohol content: 12% Refinement: The wine is then decanted and left to refine for a few months in steel vats. The sparkling base is then processed in autoclaves where the refermentation and second fermentation takes place. Organoleptic characteristics: Straw yellow colored wine with greenish reflections, very fine and lively perlage. Intense, enveloping and balanced bouquet, with notes reminiscent of green apple, white grapefruit and acacia flowers. Rich, intense, soft, fresh on the palate with notes that have complete correspondence with the perfume. Pairings: It is the glass of sparkling wine for any moment of the day.
