Trait d'Union - Il Pendio

Trait D'Union - Il Pendio

Trait d'Union by Il Pendio is a quality sparkling wine made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc grapes. The refinement of the base wine takes place in steel for a year on the fine lees while the second fermentation lasts 60 months. The remuage is manual bottle by bottle. A straw yellow colored wine with fine and persistent perlage. On the nose there are hints of bread crust, ripe fruit and mineral notes. In the mouth it is fresh, taut and elegant. It comes from a difficult year, where continuous rains alternating with hailstorms compromised most of the grapes and forced Michele to carry out a strict selection in the field and in the cellar at the time of harvest. After careful selection, the saved grapes fermented together in steel (tot ensèma) and after 8 months the base was made sparkling following the process of the Contestatore.
