Comment on noteThe wine
Far from the classic Chiantis, today I'm taking you to discover an effervescent gem that shakes up preconceived ideas about Tuscany. Imagine for a moment the unexpected freshness of a Brut Spumante, born from the high lands of Pomino, a vibrant expression of the Tuscan art of living.
This Brut Spumante Cuvée Voyage is the work of the Frescobaldi estate, an institution whose wine-growing history spans centuries, anchored in the heart of Tuscany. It is in the Pomino region, precisely in Diacceto, in the Mugello, that these vines flourish. The estate carefully cultivates Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco, grape varieties which, when blended, give birth to this singular cuvée. Frescobaldi's tradition and experience are evident in every bubble, testifying to know-how passed down from generation to generation.
The Brut Spumante Cuvée Voyage is made using the Charmat method, then benefits from 24 months of ageing on lees, which gives it remarkable complexity and finesse. To the eye, you will be charmed by its fine and persistent perlage, a promise of an elegant tasting. On the nose, it reveals fresh, fruity and floral notes, with accents of bread crust and white-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it reveals a pleasant acidity and a harmonious structure, offering a liveliness that awakens the senses and a delicate finish.
This Brut Spumante is an ideal companion for many occasions. I highly recommend it to accompany your aperitivi, those moments of Italian-style conviviality. It pairs wonderfully with refined antipasti, raw fish, or dishes based on shellfish. Its freshness and liveliness make it an excellent choice for celebrating important moments or simply for brightening up a meal with friends. Let yourself be carried away by this sensory journey, an invitation to discover Tuscany from a new angle, sparkling and full of surprises.
