Lessini DOC Durello Riserva Metodo Classico 60 Mesi 2017 Sandro De Bruno

The Extra Brut Riserva 60 months sparkling wine is produced by the Sandro de Bruno winery, founded in 2002 and located in the Soave and Lessini Mountains area, on volcanic soils.

This sparkling wine is a blend of Durella grapes with a small addition of Pinot Bianco, harvested during the second half of September. The grapes undergo de-stemming, cold skin maceration in a closed press for at least 12/18 hours and finally soft pressing in nitrogen saturation at low temperature. The must is decanted and then fermented, with subsequent ageing in bottle on its own yeasts for at least 60 months.

In the glass, the sparkling wine appears golden yellow in colour with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose there are floral aromas of acacia and orange blossom, then of ripe exotic fruit and citrus, mango, papaya, candied citron and bergamot, with notes of brioche and custard. The sip is creamy and full, with a pleasant bitter finish.

Excellent with cod alla Vicentina, tartare with egg and egg pasta dressed with vegetable or fish sauces.
