Germont

Brut Quality Sparkling Wine

This sparkling wine is made from Vernaccia. The very best grapes are picked early which gives us a slightly less alcoholic wine. The wine has a beautiful scent. We use a soft pressing method and ferment it slowly at controlled temperatures. Only later we add the sparkling touches to it. After a long fermentation in autoclave (Charmat method) we bottle the wine and keep it thus before putting it on the market.This wine is excellent as a pre-dinner drink or with antipasto. Excellent also with light meals or fish.

Vinification

grapes are protected from solar radiation, keeping them covered and well shielded by leaves, harvested early to preserve natural acidity, by hand in the coolest hours of the morning. It is then pressed and immediately cooled down to 10 °C using dry ice, then brought to the press where it is immediately subjected to soft pressing. The must be obtained receives a static clarification at 4 °C, then it is racked and cleaned from the lees fraction, after which the fermentation process is started at a controlled temperature of 15 °C.

Refinement

the wine is kept in contact with fine lees for 3 months at 10 °C and malolactic fermentation is strictly avoided. This is followed by a slow prise de mousse in autoclave (Martinotti or long Charmat method with a prolonged élevage on the lees for about 4 months), stabilization, and bottling, which usually takes place in April following the harvest.
