Production Details Release designation: Alma Non Dosato Assemblage 1. It came from 30 vineyards and 54 selections, with Guyot, spurred-cordon, Sylvoz, double-arch and single-arch training at 5,000 vines/ha. Average vineyard age was reported as 27–28 years. Grape yields were 100 q/ha for Chardonnay and 90 q/ha for Pinot Nero. Harvesting was manual in small crates. Thirty-one percent of the wines were matured in pièces. Average lees maturation was 30 months and riddling was manual. The sheet reports generic “sugars” of 1.8 g/L but does not identify that figure specifically as residual sugar, so it is not generalized into the residual-sugar field.
Tasting Notes Bright yellow; persistent, creamy effervescence; citrus and floral aromas with vivid citron, sweet spices, thyme and Mediterranean herbs; energetic and dynamic, with firm structure, elegance, crisp depth, freshness and maturity.
