Sergio Mottura - Civitella D'Agliano, Lazio (organic)
Spumante Brut Millesimé, D.O.C.
100% Chardonnay. The grapes of this white sparkling wine are from the San Martino vineyard planted in 1979 on the highest plot of the Mottura estate. Picked at dawn to preserve the grape's acidity and freshness, a soft pressing and maturation in "Tufo" caves for a minimum of five years ensues. After the degorgement, or the removal of sediment, the wine is left six months to clarify before going to market. The color of this dry spumante is a pale gold and with a full, mellow fragrance of yeast. The wine has remarkable perlage, or creamy bubbles, and can cellar for quite some time.
