Nicosia Sosta Tre Santi Etna Nerello Mascalese Brut 2020

A Brut sparkling wine from Nicosia, made from pure Nerello Mascalese grown at high altitude on volcanic soils. The grapes are selected, vinified as white wine and fermented for about three weeks at controlled temperature, then kept in stainless steel before bottling for the second fermentation and at least 24 months on the lees. In the glass it is straw yellow with dense, persistent bubbles. The nose recalls bread crust and yeast, with floral and fruity notes. The palate is fresh, easy-drinking and very smooth, thanks to well-balanced acidity. It works as an aperitif or throughout a meal, and pairs well with fish-based first courses and red shrimp tartare.
