Almerita Brut

The idea for this wine came about in 1987 for the friends of Count Giuseppe. A sparkling brut made in the traditional method, on the lees for 24 months. Each vintage is defined by Its artisanal production. A Sicilian Millesimato from Chardonnay grapes. Fine and continuous perlage with a delicate creaminess in the mouth.
