Argiolas Tagliamare Spumante Metodo Charmat Brut

A Brut sparkling wine from Argiolas in Sardinia, made from Nuragus grapes grown in the Trexenta area in the south of the island. After fermentation the wine rests on its yeast at low temperature until spring, then goes through a slow second fermentation in large closed tanks for 40 to 50 days, followed by about a month on the yeast. It is a bright straw yellow with fine bubbles. The nose offers white flowers, peach, pear and citrus, with delicate aromatic herbs. The palate has volume and a fresh drive, echoing the nose, and the finish is savoury and salty. It suits aperitifs, delicate fish dishes, oysters and seafood antipasti.
