AKENTA CUVÉE 71- SANTA MARIA LA PALMA - 2025

THE WINE THAT NEVER WAS...

A pure and minimalist label features black and white representing the natural genetic mutation undergone by Rondinella, from red

to white grape varietal.

 Intenso di fiori bianchi e gialli con un buon fruttato, che si combina ottimamente con una leggera nota di crosta di pane.

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

Sparkling white wine

Sparkling wine obtained from lightly pressing white Vermentino grapes of Sardinia, harvested early.

Tasting Notes.: On visual examination, it shows a typical straw color, with a medium-sized and persistent perlage. The bouquet on the nose offers floral notes and more fruity references. On the palate it is light-bodied, fine and balanced, with a fresh sip that recalls an herbaceous flavor.

Intended to be consumed as a vintage, it expresses the best of itself many years after bottling. When young, it is fresh,

linear and furnished with great sophistication and elegance with delicate hints of white flowers, balsamic notes and

traces of apricot. Time enables it to evolve, allowing the mineral notes to be expressed with greater determination,

thereby acquiring its complexity with traces of iodates, spices and candied fruit. In the mouth, it is capable of

                     enveloping the whole palate thanks to a significant savoury essence, accompanied by strong, exuberant acidity. 

Due Veneto Rosso IGT: every sculpture has a double soul. One hidden in the raw material, the other moulded by the hands of the sculptor. With precise gestures and finesse he extracts the perfect beauty concealed in the material. In the same way, only with equal accuracy and finesse, a wine like Due Veneto IGT can be achieved. A product made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc variety which expects attention and pursuit of detail.

The enologist’s job consists exactly in listening to the variety and the grapes answering the needs they express: in this case, a treatment which reproduces the technique of Ripasso.

The second fermentation – evoked by the name “Due” – corrects in fact any possible defect and leads to an excellent result.

To perfect beauty carved with the grapes.
