Description
Cuvage Nebbiolo d'Alba is a Metodo Classico Millesimé sparkling wine produced in Piedmont, with Nebbiolo grapes from the hills of the Langhe.
Once in the cellar, the grapes undergo at the same time a soft pressing and a short skin maceration for the extraction of the rosé colour, with a grape-wine yield of 40%. The first fermentation takes place at low temperatures in thermo-regulated steel tanks for a duration of 4 weeks. After second fermentation in bottle, the sparkling wine ages on its lees for at least 30–36 months.
It has a pale pink colour and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose recalls the aromas of rose together with fruity notes of strawberry and currant, bread crust and nutmeg. The sip is crunchy and fresh, with good persistence.
Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with grilled fish, beef carpaccio, shellfish and seafood.
