Vinification of the Emilia-Romagna Cuvée sparkling wine

The Emilia-Romagna Cuvée sparkling wine originates in the renowned Emilia-Romagna region, which, thanks to its diverse soils and mild climatic conditions, offers optimal cultivation conditions. Here, the cuvée of grapes ripens under careful supervision, with the focus on fully ripe berries. Cultivation takes place in selected sites that ensure balanced ripeness. Harvesting is traditionally done by hand to guarantee quality and to process only the best grapes.

After gently pressing the berries, the must is transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and resounding fruit aromas. During the first fermentation, the yeasts convert the natural sugar content into alcohol, laying the foundation for the later delicate sweetness. For its sparkling character, the wine undergoes a second, gentle fermentation in the bottle or tank, during which fine bubbles of carbon dioxide are formed.

Maturation takes place at cool temperatures to retain the delicate structure as well as the lively aroma of citrus fruits, peach, and ripe apple. The winemakers of Cantina Sociale di Gualtieri S.C.A. ensure particularly gentle processing so that the typical varietal characteristics of the cuvée are wonderfully preserved. With an alcohol content of 7.5 percent by volume, this sparkling wine is ideal for pleasurable moments when light and fresh wines are in demand.
