SCAIA SPUMANTE BRUT- 2024 Tenuta Sant'Antonio

ALPONE Durello Blu, Charmat method, likes to play: it has a full flavor, slightly sour, which distinguishes itself for the game it begins with salivation, by stimulating it with a slight bitter aftertaste. The hints of this sparkling wine have in fact a strong citric vein. The taste is dry and slightly fruity. The fragrances evoke wildflowers and white pulp fruit. It is lively wine, with a bright straw yellow color and fine grain long lasting perlage. A playful glamour.

The material that enlivens the Perinato Soave Classico Doc is volcanic, like the hilly terroir where the homonymous vineyard has grown since 1990. So this wine is made without doubt a noticeable minerality , salinity and saltiness contribute towards moulding a bold Cru. Volcanic.

This wine is dedicated to the memory of our origins: Perinato is in fact the surname that our ancestors bore in 1600.

“Wines are like statues carved by the enologist working on the raw material which is their essence”.

VINIFICATION The must remains in contact with the skins for a short time at a temperature of 5-6 °C to enable the aromas to be extracted. Special care is taken during the pressing stage so as to avoid the excessive extraction of colour. The must may also take on a typical copper colouring, which disappears spontaneously during alcoholic fermentation, giving way to a golden shade of yellow with slight greenish hues. After fermentation has been carried out in stainless steel at a temperature no higher than 20 °C, the wine is left to develop in tanks for 4-5 months before being bottled

TASTING NOTES

Color: bright golden yellow

Bouquet: delicious aromas of hawthorn and acacia, cedar and yellow grapefruit, alongside mineral and saline notes. Blossomy note lingering on the finish.

Taste: fresh and savory on the palate with citrus aftertaste. Good persistence.

Medium intensity ruby red color. The aroma is vinous, characteristic, pleasant and delicate, reminiscent of the fruits that ripen in the area: cherries, morello cherries and plums. The taste is dry, full-bodied, slightly bitter, savory and harmonious, captivating for the pungent note of ginger, typical in Nicolis wines. It is the ideal wine for the complete everyday meal, it does not weigh down, in the fast midday meal. Provocative but to be tried with eels and fatty fish, it has no equal with pizza.
