Production of the Chardonnay Sparkling Alcohol-Free - Cantine Casa Charlize

The grapes for this alcohol-free Chardonnay sparkling wine come from selected Italian vineyards characterized by mild winters and warm, but not excessively hot, summers. Cooling winds and sufficient temperature differences between day and night encourage the development of intense aromas and preserve the grapes’ natural freshness. The soils are varied, containing limestone, clay and, in some areas, sandy structures, lending the resulting wine tension and finesse.

The grapes are harvested with great care, with particular attention paid to aromatic grapes and flawless berries. An early harvest preserves the fresh acidity and avoids overripe notes. Before pressing, a gentle selection is often carried out, reserving only the finest batches for the base wine. This is followed by a careful pressing process to obtain clear musts with pronounced fruit character.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks so that the delicate aromatic spectrum of passion fruit and citrus fruits can emerge clearly. Once fermentation is complete, a modern, gentle process removes the alcohol while preserving the characteristic aromas and natural structure. In this way, an elegant alcohol-free base wine is created that nevertheless displays depth and character.

In the second phase, the base wine receives its fine perlage. Targeted integration of carbon dioxide creates a mousseux reminiscent of traditional sparkling wine production. Freshness remains at the forefront, while a short period of aging on the fine lees adds creaminess and structure. Maturation in stainless steel tanks preserves clear fruit and a precise, modern style without intrusive oak aromas.

The style of Cantine Casa Charlize is guided by elegance, drinking pleasure and aromatic clarity. Each bottle reflects the winery’s ambition to fill alcohol-free sparkling wines with genuine personality. Precise vineyard work, modern cellar technology and a sensitive feel for balance shape the profile of this Chardonnay Sparkling. The result is an Italian alcohol-free sparkling wine that impresses with style and finesse.

Storing it upright in a wine rack or refrigerator helps preserve its freshness; direct sunlight and significant temperature fluctuations should be avoided.
