Socci Peter Luis Brut Traditional Method 2016

100% Verdicchio Castelpanio Marche, Italy Alcohol: 14%

Profile Pale Yellow with gold hues, creamy perlage with fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose we have characteristic aromas of toast and brioche due to the 18 months in contact with the lees and at the same time a pleasant bouquet of floral aromas such as chamomile and white blossom. This is a very refreshing dry and crispy sparkling wine with great balance. But most important: it’s very recognizable as a Verdicchio, with its white stone fruits, citrus notes, and the typical almond note.

Terroir The small, family-run winery is situated in Castelplanio, at 350 metres above sea level and all wine-growing and wine-making stages are personally overseen by the owner. The vineyard is on a hill which guarantees that the vines have great exposure to sunlight.. The higher up the hill the air becomes fresher and more crisp. Humidity is thus reduced and the breeze helps to regulate growth conditions, preventing the formation of mould. In addition to being lucky with a good atmospheric temperature range , our vineyards are located on calcareous clay soil which is ideal for the production of high-quality wines.

Harvest & Winemaking Harvest: 100% hand harvested Winemaking: 20 days fermentation controlled temperature (17° C) 24 months contact with lees Bottling: Vertical maturation, for 33 months
