Murgo Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine 2021 Cl 75

De-stemming of grapes harvested before full ripeness and maceration at 29°C for 24 hours. Temperature-controlled fermentation at 16°-18°C with selected yeasts. Aged in stainless steel tanks for 8 months during which malolactic fermentation is naturally carried out. Frothing is done in late spring, after good evolution of the base wine. Bottle refermentation takes two and a half months at a controlled temperature of 14°C. The resulting bottles mature on the lees in the underground cellar in large baskets for a minimum period of 24-30 months after bottling. Remuage is done in pupitres that are moved twice a week for a month and a half. This is followed by degorgiatura and dosage, which gives greater smoothness and at the same time safeguards the wine’s pecularities. After degorgement, the wine rests for at least one month before marketing.
