Production Details This is a two-vintage sparkling wine rather than a single-harvest wine. For the current 2022-base release disgorged June 2025, Polaner reports slightly underripe Frappato harvested by hand, indigenous-yeast fermentation in cement, twelve months in cement, addition of fresh must from the subsequent vintage and 22 months on the lees. The undated Uva release sheet instead reports brief skin contact, amphora fermentation, one year on fine lees in a 25-hL tank and a further 18 months on lees in bottle; it also reports no added sulfur and recommends serving at 46–50°F. The producer’s generic page gives 20 months on yeast. These source-specific month durations and vessel descriptions are retained without conversion to days or reconciliation: Polaner’s current cement/22-month specification differs from the amphora/18-month Uva sheet and the producer’s generic 20-month statement. Polaner calls the following-vintage must “dosage,” whereas the producer and Uva place it before refermentation and state zero dosage at disgorgement; no nonzero dosage is proposed.
Tasting Notes Golden-orange colour; delicate, subdued bubbles; bone dry, with butterscotch, apricot, beeswax and natural-yeast character
Food Pairing Full-flavoured creamy cheeses, tuna steak sandwich, Persian dishes, and creamy chicken or pork casseroles or stews
