Federico II Rex Sicilie Millesime' Sparkling White 6 x 75cl

Chardonnay.

 

Maturation partly in stainless steel vats and partly in oak barriques. the cuvée was bottled and the liqueur de tirage was added to start the second fermentation. The bottles mature for at least 6/7years on the lees.

 

The blending of the various cuvée harvested and vinified separately here becomes an “art". Like pieces they are joined together to create that mosaic of sensations typical of this wine with a long passage on the lees, which lasts over seven years.

 

Fine and elegant, it has a pale straw yellow color with green notes. A very fine, continuous perlage along with a persistent crown. An excellent olfactory intensity in which we distinguish sweet hints of pastry, dried fruit reminiscent of almonds and spicy tending to wood. In the mouth is fresh, light and persistent with a slightly bitter, savory finish.
