On the palate, this well-balanced sparkling wine is characterized by an exceptionally crisp, light and creamy texture. The finish of this sparkling wine from the Emilia-Romagna wine-growing region ultimately convinces with a beautiful aftertaste. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the clay- and limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Ortrugo Brut from Torre Fornello

The basis for the balanced Ortrugo Brut from Emilia-Romagna is grapes of the Ortrugo variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Emilia-Romagna. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into clay and limestone soils. After hand-picking, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by the fermentation of the base wines. After the cuvée has been assembled, further maturation follows using the Charmat method. The Torre Fornello Ortrugo Brut then matures on the full lees for 3 months.

Food recommendation for Torre Fornello Ortrugo Brut

Ideally, enjoy this sparkling wine from Italy well chilled at 5–7°C as an accompanying wine to fruity endive salad, vegetable salad with beetroot, or omelet with salmon and fennel.
