0.0 De-Alcoholised Sparkling Wine
|
Area of Production: Veneto, Italy
Varietal: Italian White Grapes Alcohol: 0.0% Wine Notes: Straw yellow with bright highlights and a lovely aromatic, fragrant profile, it is reminiscent of yellow-pulp fruit with a hint of floral notes. It is pleasant, fresh and harmonious on the palate with an eccentric end note. Winemaking Technique: This de-alcoholised wine was obtained through distillation in a vacuum evaporator which extracts the alcohol by evaporation, followed by condensation. Initially, the wine is transferred from the storage tank to the vacuum evaporation column which contains a series of cones. Distillation occurs in two steps: the aim of the initial step is to collect the aromas which are the first to evaporate due to their highly volatile nature. Thanks to the technology, the aromas are condensed and collected for later use. The aim, in the second step, is to evaporate the ethanol. The temperature gradually increases by a few degrees as the wine rises up the column, thus allowing the actual de-alcoholisation to take place. This is when the alcohol evaporates together with a small amount of wine lees water. At the end of the process, the aromas are returned to the de-alcoholised wine, thus obtaining a low (<0.5% vol.) or zero-alcohol (0.0% vol.) content. Technology is fundamental in this process. The technique of condensing the aromas allows the natural bouquet to be preserved, so that it can be returned intact to the de-alcoholised wine. The finished product, therefore, retains the same distinctive features and organoleptic properties as the original wine. A first-class wine is needed to produce a first-class de-alcoholised wine. Recommended Pairings: Ideal as an aperitif, pairs with light vegetable or fish dishes. A pleasure to be enjoyed for light-hearted toasts and during festive moments. UPC Code: 8008863078329 |
