Maurizio Ferraro - Spumante Brut - L17

#SECONDOME SPUMANTE BRUT METODO CLASSICO DOSAGGIO ZERO

 

This now incredibly rare, unique and exceptionally complex sparkling orange wine (somewhat) comes from a base wine of late-picked Chardonnay with 7 days of skin contact and early-picked Grignolino from old vines vinified in white and then macerated on the skins of Chardonnay. It’s then re-fermented with organic cane sugar in the bottle and degorged in September 2017. It enchants with heavenly and assertive notes of dried yellow flowers, nuts and butter pastries, then explodes with smoked quince and saffron essence. No added SO2 anywhere to be found.
