WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The grapes come from Valentin Bianchi’s Dona Elsa Estate, which is situated in the San Rafael DOC of Mendoza at about 2400-2500 feet (730 to 790 meters) above sea level. The soil is sandy calcareous of alluvial origins. Fermentation is performed at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The final blend is inoculated with selected yeast before undergoing a second fermentation in autoclave stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation is completed, the internal pressure within the tanks is approximately 13lbs/0.5inch2 (6kgs/cm2). After spinning and filtration of the wine in the aforementioned tanks, the natural carbonic gas from the second fermentation is preserved, as well as the aromatic notes from the process and the primary aromas that come from the grapes themselves.
New Age Brut Sparkling wine has an attractive yellow color, with a delicate and persistent mousse of tiny bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Delightful aromas of tropical fruits and orange blossoms mingle with soft and fresh hints of juicy white peach. One the pallet, it is soft, with balanced acidity.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
This wine should be served chilled, to be enjoyed as an aperitif or for any special occasion or celebration, like the finest Champagne or other sparkling wine.
