Monti Lessini 60 months on the lees
Wine dedicated to the engineer Renato Cecchin, founder of the winery. Produced in the best years with five or more years of permanence on yeasts that give great olfactory impact and complexity.
Suitable to accompany a whole meal or in combination with the symbol of our cuisine: the Bacalà alla Vicentina or Mantecato according to the Venetian tradition. It will enhance its refreshing and easy texture.
Grape variety
Durella 100%.
Vineyard
Vineyard of 1976 with Pergola Veronese training system. Propagation by cuttings of an old variety found in Agugliana.
Terrain
Hilly terrain of volcanic origin with tuff and basalt. Altitude: 250 meters above sea level.
Harvest
Strictly manual with careful vineyard selection in the month of September.
Winemaking
The grapes are pressed whole, vinifying separately the different plots of the vineyard which are skillfully blended in January. The sparkling base matures in stainless steel on lees with periodic batonnage until the second fermentation, which takes place in late spring. The bottles are stacked in an underground cellar and remain there for a minimum of 60 months. Manual riddling with hexagonal racks. After disgorgement, there follows a resting period of a few months.
Tasting notes
On the nose notes of sulphur and burnt caramel. In the palate, the sip is full-bodied and bold with a saline component that calls for another sip. Capable of delivering emotions even after 10 years or more from disgorgement.
Bottles produced
5.000 of 750ml. 200 Magnum.
