Ancestrale Method Sparkling wine from Verdeca, Maruggio, Marchione grapes. These are indigenous varieties of Gioia del Colle DOC. Puglia, or Apulia for English speakers, is in the south of Italy, "down the heel of the boot", originally the place where Mattia comes from.
Giovanni Aiello is the chief of a little and young company growing fast. An "Artisan" of the wine believes that wine is not only a true expression of the land, but intervention and care in the winery are a must to make great wines. After he studied wines in Friuli and Veneto, he gained experience in the vineyards of California and Australia, before returning home to work in vineyards surrounded by the beautiful Apulian landscape. The vineyards are placed 300 m above sea level in a "channel" that draws fresh breeze from the sea, giving a unique microclimate suitable for the best red and white grapes.
Description:
The wine shows a light lemon color with green reflections. Fresh citrus fruit note on the nose, accompanied by a zesty and mineral undertone with bright acidity.
The grapes, pressed and de-stemmed, are gently pressed, then the must is fermented in steel at a controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation, after the first racking, the wine remains on the fine lees until February. Bâtonnages expand its volume and harmonize its taste.
