This area’s peculiarity is its eastern aspect, which means it is subject to considerable thermal excursions and fresher temperatures than the average for the zone (which normally tend to be high, creating hints of ripe fruit, vegetables and spices). This results not only in the typical features of ‘Feletto’ soil with sub-acid pH, where roots can grow deep down without suffering from stress due to lack of water, but also in the elegance typically provided by strong thermal excursions. The result is a luscious, flavourful wine with uncommon finesse.
This is deliberately exalted by using a method slightly different from that used for the other wines in our range. The base wines from this vineyard, which tend to be cold and introvert, are left to mature for approximately one year on the primary fermentation lees before they undergo clarification and the sparkling process a year after harvest. When the sparkling wine has been refrigerated, its stands for a long time on its own lees before bottling. In this way the yeast autolysis breaks down the volume and enriches the wine.
XXIII Bio features scents of ripe white gooseberries, spring flowers and citrus fruit. As it stands on its lees for a long time, it has an aromatic bouquet that includes hints of pastries and bread. A delicate mineral note underlines intriguing complexity rich in hints of salt and fresh citrus overtones. This versatile wine is delicious with oysters and shellfish, ethnic cuisine, white meat, cold cuts and dairy and medium-hard cheese.
