Riserva V38AG sparkling wine

Reserve V38AG – Classic method, Brut

The Riserva V38AG sparkling wine is a blend of Chardonnay, dominant, and Inzolia grapes, grown in the Milici vineyards. These vines, over 20 years old, are grown with a tent system on a clayey and calcareous soil rich in skeleton, which gives the wine a unique structure and minerality. The grapes are harvested by hand, with the Chardonnay being harvested in the first half of August and the Inzolia at the beginning of September.

The wine presents itself with a bright straw yellow color, with green reflections, and a very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers fragrant notes of vanilla and pastries, well blended with spicy scents and Mediterranean scrub. In the mouth, it is full and structured, with a pleasant creaminess and sapidity. The dusty tactile sensation makes the wine particularly suitable for pairing at the table.

Vinification takes place partly in steel and partly in oak barrels, with the maturation of the 2015 vintage sparkling wine bases. The cuvée, with the addition of the liqueur de tirage, is started for foaming and the bottles remain stacked for a minimum of 48 months on the lees. The Inzolia gives the wine its strength and its Mediterranean character, while the Milazzo Chardonnay enhances its refinement.
