The Gaudensius Blanc de Noir DOC is a brut sparkling wine produced by the renowned Firriato winery, located on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. This wine is an excellent example of how volcanic terroir can positively influence the production of high-quality sparkling wines.
Perfect for special occasions and to accompany refined dishes, the Gaudensius Blanc de Noir is made exclusively from Nerello Mascalese grapes, a native Sicilian variety that gives the wine a unique character. The vinification is done using the classic method, which includes a second fermentation in the bottle, exactly as it is done for Champagne production.
On the nose, this sparkling wine reveals fruity and floral notes, with evident hints of red fruits and subtle nuances of bread crust, due to the extended maturation on the lees. On the palate, the Gaudensius Blanc de Noir presents a complex and well-balanced structure, with a crisp acidity typical of grapes grown in volcanic environments. The perlage is persistent and refined, a testament to the care and quality of production at the Firriato winery.
This sparkling wine is ideal to serve as an aperitif or to celebrate important moments, but it also pairs elegantly with sophisticated fish dishes or delicate appetizers. The ideal serving temperature is between 6 and 8°C, to fully appreciate its aromatic range and lively taste.
