Sweet sparkling wine with fruity aromas, animated by a good perlage and a fresh taste
- ASTI SPUMANTE 'LA SELVATICA' MAGNUM LA CAUDRINA DESCRIPTION
- Asti Spumante La Selvatica€ from the Piedmontese winery La Caudrina is the most classic and traditional interpretation of Moscato Bianco. This ancient grape, widespread in almost all the Mediterranean countries and in wine
- making Europe in many different clones, has been grown for centuries on the hills of Asti. According to tradition, Moscato grapes are used to produce sweet sparkling wines with the Martinotti or Charmat Method. These are wines with a low alcohol content and a soft, floral and fruity taste, which find a perfect balance between the sweetness of the residual sugar and the lively final freshness, also supported by a light and delicate perlage.
- The Spumante Asti "La Selvatica" is born in a historic estate in the area. The Dogliotti family, owners of the La Caudrina winery, have been cultivating vines in the wonderful territory of Asti for three generations. About twenty hectares are located on the Galeisa hill, which enjoys excellent sunny and well
- ventilated exposures. The predominantly calcareous soils are particularly suited to Moscato Bianco, which in these conditions expresses grapes of great aromatic finesse. Another 10 hectares are cultivated in the Nizza Monferrato area. The winery's flagship wine is Moscato d'Asti, which, faithful to tradition, expresses all the aromatic pleasure, the fragrant and soft ripeness of the fruit and the freshness of the Moscato grape.
- "La Selvatica" Magnum from the La Caudrina winery is an excellent version of Asti Spumante, which renews the great tradition in the name of the search for quality and territorial typicality. After the first vinification, the base wine is transferred to an autoclave for the second fermentation according to the Martinotti or Charmat Method. The fermentation is interrupted by lowering the temperature when the wine reaches a gradation of 7.0 vol%, so as to leave a sugar residue. The color is a rather deep straw yellow, crossed by a thin and continuous perlage. The bouquet expresses scents of white flowers, orange blossom, citrus aromas, white peach, pear and nuances of aromatic herbs. The sip is elegant, dynamic and lively, with a rich, soft, creamy fruit and a finish of intense freshness. It is one of the classics of the Italian tradition, the most popular dessert sparkling wine, which has always accompanied moments of celebration, especially if in the prestigious Magnum format!
