Wine Description
With a pale straw colour this wine is light and packed with crisp, grapey flavour and hints of pear and honeysuckle. Its lush ripe fruit is complemented by tingly bubbles or ‘frizzante’. This slight fizz refreshes the palate and is enhanced by crisp acidity. The spritz and the sweetness are both naturally occurring in this wine. After picking, crushing and pressing, the juice ferments. This fermentation is carried out by yeast that consume the sugar and produce alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. The ferment is stopped just over half way through, and then kept very cold until it is bottled. By doing this, some of the sugar remains, the wine is low in alcohol and the carbon dioxide stays in the wine as a soft spritz.
