Cava AgustÌ Torelló Mata Reserva

The base cuvée is the traditional one for a good Cava. Agustí Torelló Mata Reserva 2016, in fact, comes from a blend of the three typical grape varieties of the region Macabeo, Xarello and Parellada. An unmistakable style that is consolidated with at least two years of maturation in the cellar, in the dark and in total silence. The result is a bubble characterized by a beautiful straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. The bubble, fine and persistent, rises slowly from the bottom of the goblet, forming uninterrupted chains. The nose reveals a wine with a strongly fruity character, with hints of green apple and citrus. Then notes of caramel, fresh herbs and balsamic touches, like menthol. In the mouth, it is elegant and balanced. Always fruity, we find sensations of ripe apple. But at the same time it is fresh and rewarding, with a nice, well-integrated effervescence and an excellent balance between sugars and acidity. Good already today, it has a discreet ageing potential. We can certainly wait a few years to appreciate it at its best, perhaps pairing it with a rich fish-based menu.
