Tenuta Mazzolino - Mazzolino Brut - Blanc de Blanc - 75cl

                1 BOTTLE X 75cl.

Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from the Mazzolino Estate’s vineyards. The early-ripening grapes are entirely hand-picked in small crates to preserve the natural freshness of the variety to the full.

The base wine is obtained by softly pressing whole grapes then, after brief settling at a low temperature, fermentation is started with selected yeasts, a part in controlled-temperature steel vats between 18 and 20°C and a small part in barriques. The following spring the two parts are blended and the “tirage” process is carried out by adding sugar and yeast for the second fermentation. The wine is bottled and left to rest in the cellar for a minimum of 18 months on the lees (sur lies). After this period the bottles are put in pupitres for manual riddling, entirely done by hand. Finally there is “dégorgement” or disgorgement, the addition of liqueur d’expédition and then the wine is released.

It has a bright and clear pale straw-yellow color; the aroma is intense with good complexity and a fine, elegant and persistent perlage. The bouquet is full and distinctive with hints of white flowers and exotic fruit. It is initially fresh on the palate, followed by a pleasant plushness and delicacy that gives the product great balance.
Best drunk at 6-7°C as an aperitif. At 9-10°C it goes well with hot and cold starters, seafood pasta, shellfish and vegetarian dishes.
