Spumante Metodo Charmat "Gemma" Lecci e Brocchi

Gemma' sparkling wine is a product of the history and terroir of the area, produced by the Lecci e Brocchi winery, a small family business dedicated to making great wines. The 'Gemma' Charmat method is a harmonious blend of Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano Toscano, two grapes with an important acidity that makes them ideal for sparkling wines. This authentic and traditional Tuscan blend takes advantage of the fruity and inviting aromas of Malvasia to enrich the light character of Trebbiano. The result is a slim, lively and well-balanced wine with a fine and persistent perlage. Harvesting is always done manually and begins at the end of August. This is the time when the Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano Toscano grapes reach the optimum ripeness for the production of a quality sparkling wine, characterised by low sugar concentrations and high acidity. At the winery, vinification begins with soft pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation of the must at a controlled temperature of 18/20°C. The second fermentation takes place in an autoclave according to the principles of the Charmat method. At the end of the second fermentation, the wine is bottled and undergoes a brief refinement in the bottle before being released. To the eye, 'Gemma' sparkling wine has a pale straw-yellow colour, crystal clear and bright thanks to its fine perlage. Its aroma is fruity, with clear notes of pear and white-fleshed fruit, as well as floral notes of white flowers. The fine, delicate bouquet is perfectly balanced by the right savouriness and freshness on the palate, allowing all the floral and fruity sensations perceived earlier to be savoured again. The unique characteristics of 'Gemma' make it the ideal companion to enhance aperitifs, hors d'oeuvres and light first courses.
