The Chardonnay vines for the Almerita Brut sparkling wine have an age of 20 years and grow in the Tasca d'Almerita vineyards at the Regaleali Estate south of Palermo in central Sicily at altitude of around 500 m. An area where exposure, altitude, atmospheric temperature range, ventilation all come together to determine the precious interplay between plant and soil which give wines with freshness, complexity and elegance.

The grapes were manually harvested, carefully sorted, destemmed and pressed followed by fermentation and partial malolactic fermentation. After the primary fermentation the wine was bottled and had its second fermentation and ageing in the bottles for 24 months on the lees.

Perlage: Fine and continuous.

Colour: Intense golden yellow.

Bouquet: Rich fragrant, fruity with yeast, ripe fruit and pineapple.

Taste: Soft creamy, delicate, on the whole harmonious and balanced, persistent and pleasant.

Longevity 5-10 years.
