Vino frizzante "Antico" - Cantina Furlani

"Antico" Sparkling Wine - Cantina Furlani

The "Antico" sparkling wine is obtained using white grapes that come from vineyards over 35 years old grown in Trentino pergola on medium-textured limestone soils. Spontaneous fermentation for the formation of the base wine and re-fermentation in the bottle after it remains to refine on the lees for two years. It is not opened and no sulfur is added before it is put on the market. It has a slightly turbid straw yellow color with lively bubbles. Classic aromas of bread crust, flowers and light mineral notes on the nose. In the mouth great drinkability, pleasantness and all the experience of the yeasts that enhances the mineral strength of the alpine place.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 6/8 ° in a flute ballon glass. Wine to be drunk immediately but left in the cellar a few years can give great emotions.

Pairing

Wine goes perfectly with first and second courses of fish, with pasta dishes based on light sauces, to try with a salmon tartare.
