Stella Spumante - Brancaia

The Stella Spumante from Brancaia in Tuscany has a bright, golden yellow color in the glass. The bubbles of this sparkling wine are very fine and extremely persistent in the glass. If you give it a little air in the glass by swirling it, you can perceive a perfect balance in this sparkling wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls. The nose of this sparkling wine from Tuscany seduces with hints of lemon and brioche. If we explore the aromas further, almonds are added.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with 7 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the top wine segment, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. The texture of this well-balanced Prosecco Spumante is wonderfully crisp on the palate. Thanks to its present fruit acidity, Stella Spumante is impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this sparkling wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region is convincing with a good aftertaste.

Vinification of the Brancaia Stella Spumante

The basis for the balanced Stella Spumante from Tuscany is grapes from the Chardonnay grape variety. Stella Spumante is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation of the base wines. Once the final Prosecco Spumante has been blended, it is matured further using the classic bottle fermentation method. This is followed by bottle ageing for 24 months.
