Fondovico Magnum

Description

Altimetry & Vine Training System

450 mt. s.l.m.; Guyot; 6000 plants per hectare.

Fertilisation

Grassing and green manure of different plants. Parasiticidal treatment with copper and sulphur.

Vinification process and refinement

The grapes are harvested by hand and directly pressed, avoiding the crushing. A cold static settling follows this irst stage with a fermentation at 16 °C for two weeks. Charmat method in the autoclave with controlled temperatures that allow a slow and constant fermentation.

Tasting Notes

Clear, straw yellow with light green reflections and a very fine, very durable sparkle. Quite round and complex. Red Annurca apple and peach bring a fresh white fruit aroma, whilst the floral notes recall broom, wildflowers, thyme and sage. The mouthfeel is dry, fresh and quite savory. A full-bodied wine, balanced, quite intense and persistent.

Recommended Pairings

Great pairing with sweet and delicate dishes, slightly fatty, savory and lightly spiced with a modest permancence. Fried squid, a raw fish composition or beautiful mussels au gratin. Amazing pairing with provolone cheese as well.
