"Fle" Spumante di Fiano di Avellino Demi sec Doc 75 cl Montesole

MONT SPFIA

It is a valuable white sparkling wine made from the base wine Fiano (cf. the Grapes: Fiano di Avellino DOCG for the origin of the vine).

The grapes must be selected before reaching the full maturation in order to keep high acidity which acts as a protection in the absence of sulphur dioxide, in the course of its transformation into sparkling wine.

The sparkling process occurs according to the "Long Charmat" method through a refermentation in autoclaves.

It is well known that such method can turn out excellent in short times if applied to naturally fresh and fruity wines, and the Fiano naturally fresh and fruity graces this wine with elegance and intense notes of fruit.

Of straw yellow colour, dry with moderate sweetness, it is mainly drunk with cakes, cookies, fruit salads and biscuits, yet it is a joy served with fish dishes.
