Characteristics
A slightly effervescent, sweet red wine with low alcohol (5.5%), made from one of the most appealing aromatic grapes, the Malvasia di Schierano. It is characterised by a very unusual marriage of freshness, weight, and aromatic complexity. Wild red berry fruit is gloriously evident on the nose, along with fascinating hints of blossoms, particularly wisteria and iris. Served will chilled (7-8°), it is ideal with any sweet or dessert as well as with fresh fruit and petits fours. Production area Castelnuovo Don Bosco vineyards Grape 100% Malvasia di Schierano Altitude and exposure 340 mt a.s.l.; south System of cultivation Guyot Soil type grey-blue clayey marl

Vinification
The grapes are softly pressed, the skins and the must are left together for a brief fermentation period to extract the colour and to obtain some degrees of alcohol. The must is preserved at low temperature so to keep its natural freshness and perfumes. Before bottling it, it is afterwards re-fermented in an autoclave, with the help of selected yeasts until the alcohol content reaches 5.5° and the must assumes its typical vivacity. Before bottling it, the wine is micro-filtered to obtain optimal conservation and stop any further fermentation. Alcohol 5,5% vol. Total Acidity 120-130 gr/lt Bottle size 750 ml. Champagnotta Bottle cap natural cork
