More questions
The Pignoletto Spumante Brut by Leonardo Da Vinci 1502 represents an excellent expression of the Emilian terroir, where winemaking tradition merges with modern oenological techniques to create sparkling wines of great character. This sparkling wine is produced with Pignoletto grapes, a native variety from the Emilia-Romagna region, known for its ability to convey freshness and vivacity.
The vinification of Pignoletto Spumante Brut follows the Charmat method, which includes a second fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary aromas of the grape and ensure a fine and persistent bubble. The result is a wine with a bright straw-yellow color, with greenish reflections that anticipate its freshness.
On the nose, the bouquet of this sparkling wine is immediately captivating, offering a wide range of aromas from acacia flower to white-fleshed fruits like pear and green apple, with a slight touch of citrus to complete the olfactory profile. This complexity of aromas is also found on the palate, where the liveliness of the acidity is balanced by a pleasant creaminess.
The Pignoletto Spumante Brut is an ideal choice for aperitifs or to accompany light dishes, particularly seafood and cold appetizers. Its elegance and freshness also make it perfect for toasts and special celebrations, symbolizing the union between art and science that inspired Leonardo Da Vinci in 1502.
