Etna DOC Metodo Classico Nerello Mascalese Brut Sosta Tre Santi 2019 Nicosia

The Etna Brut Classic Method of the Sosta Tre Santi di Nicosia line was born in vineyards located on the western slope of the largest volcano in Europe and is the first DOC sparkling wine, Classic Method, of Etna.

It is produced exclusively with Nerello Mascalese grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October. After a soft pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 3 weeks. Subsequently the wine matures in the same containers and continues the second fermentation by refermentation in the bottle, resting on the lees and fine lees for 30 months before disgorgement. It remains to refine another 6 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.

This Etna Brut is characterized by a straw yellow color and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose brings elegant hints of bread crust and yeast, enriched by fresh fruity and floral hints. On the palate it is mineral and has excellent acidity, harmonious and persistent.

Excellent as an aperitif, it is ideal to combine with appetizers and fish-based dishes.
