Demi-Sec

This brilliant and vivacious TRENTODOC rich in floral scents, recalls the fragrance and freshness of the grapes. Pale straw yellow in colour, full bodied and velvety, it enhances desserts due to the natural sweetness on the palate.

Description

VINIFICATION
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir clusters are hand-picked into shallow boxes, then the two types of grapes are gently crushed separately. After fermentation the wine is drawn off the gross lees and the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are blended to 70% – 30%. The wine is then stored in steel tanks and bottled the following spring, and cultured yeasts added. After at least 24 months on the lees, the bottles are manually riddled, and the wine is disgorged and bottled.
