Etna Brut Blanc De Noir Doc - La Gelsomina

Description

The Etna Brut Blanc de Noir La Gelsomina by Tenute Orestiadi is a sparkling wine that speaks Sicilian . Its name alone makes it clear that it comes from vineyards on the slopes of Etna, from Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese grapes.

A very elegant bubble, a true bearer of emotions through the glass with a lively foam and a fine-grained perlage, all enriched by fine and persistent aromas, with notes of bread crust and flowers, while in the mouth it confirms its finesse and elegance .

Why you should drink it

If you are a lover of Italian bubbles and want to think outside the box and try something that can compete with the usual Oltrepo Pavese, Franciacorta or Alta Langa, then this bottle is for you .

A real surprise that expresses itself with great Sicilian strength .

When to uncork it

A perfect sparkling wine as an aperitif , to be enjoyed with delicately flavoured dishes, such as fish , risottos , vegetables and seafood .

In particular, I recommend you uncork this bubble with a nice swordfish carpaccio with citrus citronette, a slice of tuna in a pistachio crust or a plate of spaghetti with anchovy sauce and crunchy breadcrumbs.

How to drink it

Keep this bubbly cool , please, uncork it at a temperature of 8-10℃ .

Winemaking and Refinement

Destemming and soft pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature with the addition of selected yeasts, the refinement takes place with the classic method, it ages for at least 30 months on the yeasts.

Territory

We are in Sicily , an island that has always had a vocation for viticulture, more precisely on the slopes of Etna where the vineyards used to create this sparkling wine are located, a unique area where the exposure creates favourable conditions for the cultivation of vines and the obtaining of high quality products.

Soil

The soil is of volcanic origin , with specific characteristics like an impressionist's canvas, in fact each lava flow that followed one another over time has left different characteristics on the various pieces of land .
