"La Rena" Spumante Brut

One cannot fail to be impressed by its label. And by the coloured metal capsule. It is a quality sparkling wine, vintage, offered by Pelassa. Not the usual one, let's be clear. A sparkling wine that comes from the pure processing of typical local grapes. Made from Arneis grapes, it has a natural acidity that gives it freshness and persistence. And a bouquet with particular saline hints, typical of the Arneis of Montà d'Alba. Harvested by hand between the end of August and the beginning of September, a third of the bunches are put into the whole press to facilitate drainage and to improve the wine's structure. The subsequent fermentation phase lasts about 12 days, then the wine is left to mature in temperature-controlled steel tanks in contact with the noble lees. For the subsequent prise de mousse, the wine is placed in autoclaves where it remains for about 90 days. This is followed by a further bottle-ageing phase lasting a minimum of two months before release. To be served chilled, in goblets capable of bringing out the best of the delicate aromas and fine perlage. Thanks to the moderate dosage, about 7 grams of sugar per litre, it is excellent as an aperitif, but also goes well with fish or white meat dishes.
