<p>Piemonte | ItalyJuicy, and gently nutty with attractive mineral characters, textured weighty fruit and a zippy, citrusy, mouthwatering feel.About the ProducerThe south-facing vineyards have chalky, mineral soils that enable full ripening and excellent drainage. The 35-year-old vines are trained Piemonte style on low Guyot trellis, planted at 4,000–4,500 vines/ha, yielding 6,600 lt/ha. Grapes are hand harvested a week early to retain acidity for sparkling wines. Whole bunches are pressed in a pneumatic press and fermented under temperature control in stainless steel tanks at Araldica’s Azienda Agricola La Battistina. The wine spends 3–4 months on lees before being fined, filtered, and bottled.Food PairingDelicious with appetisers and light fish courses.La Battistina, Gavi | Rusty Nail Spirits</p>
