Sparkling wines
“Illuminati Brut” Sparkling Wine (classic method)
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
Colour:: Straw yellow.
Nose:: Fine and persistent bouquet.
Flavour:: Moderately fresh, long and good character, elegant, persistent foam, very fine perlage.
ORIGIN
It originates from a blend of grapes coming from our Trebbiano and Verdicchio vineyards, located in Controguerra and this characteristic provides the classic “Illuminati Brut” with a distinct personality.
COMPOSITION OF SUBSOIL
Medium-textured soil, tending to clayey.
TIMES OF HARVEST AND WINE-MAKING
The first fermentation process takes place in small stainless steel sealed tanks (autoclavi) at a controlled temperature. The second fermentation occurs after bottling and is a very slow process, that takes place in extremely cool caves (approximately 11-12°C), and during maturation the product rests on its dregs for 36 to 48 months. The next phase includes the traditional manual shaking of the bottles (the so-called remuage) placed on the pupitres. This operation ends with the disgorging, and after refining the sparkling wine is ready to be put on the market.
