Fior del Vento

Sangue di Giuda dell’Oltrepò Pavese DOC

Location of the vineyards: Solinga Valley.

Soil: gravel-sand soil.

Vineyards: vineyards facing south on a steep hillside.

Grapes: Croatina, Barbera and Uva Rara.

Vinification: the grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and pumped into stainless-steel tanks where they ferment at a controlled temperature. The skins are left with the fermenting juice for 4-5 days. The alcoholic fermentation is stopped at a low alcohol volume by filtering and racking the wine. The wine is cooled and after some months is put into an autoclave with its natural sugar for the prise de mousse. The wine is then micro-filtered and bottled. Finally, the wine ages in the bottle in the dark of our cellar for a brief time before release.

Tasting notes: very deep ruby red colour with violet highlights. Creamy purple foam and pleasant bubbles. Fruity nose with notes of strawberry, currant, sour cherry and a hint of wild herbs. Moderately sweet, harmonious, well-rounded and inviting on the palate.

Pairing suggestions: perfect with any red fruit dessert. It also pairs well with dried pastry. A challenging, contrasting pairing could be with Gorgonzola Naturale cheese.

Service temperature: best served at 8-10 °C in a tulip-shaped glass.

Available formats: 0,75 l bottle.

Contains sulphites.
