Piemonte Chardonnay Brut DOC Alice Bel Colle

The Chardonnay Brut by Alice Bel Colle comes from small vineyards with east and west exposure that dwell on limestone soils, at a height of 150–200 meters above sea level, conditions that allow the full expression of the varietal characteristics of aroma and freshness of the Chardonnay grape, vinified in purity.

The clusters undergo a soft pressing and the must is sent to pressurized tanks where fermentation takes place at a temperature between 10 and 15 °C, but also the second fermentation with the Charmat method until a pressure of 3.5 atmospheres is reached. Ageing on lees follows for 9 months and for another 6 months in the bottle.

In the glass it has a straw yellow colour, punctuated by a fine and continuous perlage. The nose is fine and broad, with hints ranging from bread crust to ripe fruit. In the mouth it denotes good flavour and structure, ending on a fragrant and persistent finish.

Enjoyed as an aperitif, it is excellent in combination with fish main courses and fresh cheeses.
