Spumante Brut Metodo Charmat Tuttacoccia "Alla tua età" 2023 Paride D'Angelo

"Alla Tua Età'" by Paride d'Angelo is a sparkling wine made from Cococciola, a white grape variety native to Abruzzo. The Cococciola vine, typical of the region, is particularly suitable for the production of sparkling wine due to its high acidity, which is maintained throughout the ageing process. This sparkling wine best interprets the characteristics of Cococciola, with a complex and enveloping aromatic profile, offering freshness, mineral accents enriched with floral scents and a lively sparkle with just the right acidity, resulting in a persistent finish. The vineyards are cultivated on clay soils, organically, with respect for health and the environment, using the Abruzzo pergola system, typical of the region, with an average age of 45 years and southern exposure, which contributes to the production of high quality grapes. Vinification follows the Martinotti or Charmat method, which means that after soft pressing, the grapes undergo a first fermentation in steel tanks to produce the base wine. The second fermentation takes place in an autoclave, a steel tank adapted to work under the pressure created by the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation and retained in the autoclave. The CO2 itself helps to give the wine its distinctive effervescence! The second fermentation of this wine lasts 3 months. The wine is then bottled and ready to be tasted. "Alla Tua Età' presents itself in the glass with a straw-yellow colour with bright reflections. The perlage is intense and discreetly persistent. The nose opens with notes of leavened bread, followed by a mineral and citrusy finish that gives it freshness and vitality. On the palate, the wine is delicately exuberant, savoury, balanced and very pleasant, with a good persistence in the finish.
