Sparkling Wines
Fine, lively and fragrant bubbles to toast special events or to carve out a unique moment in everyday life.
BRUT, COLLAVINI
Our Brut comes from a selection of vineyards on the eastern hills, trained with the spurred cordon and guyot system, where grapes suitable for a quality sparkling base are born. After a first fermentation partly in steel and partly in barriques; the 100% Ribolla Gialla base is fermented in large horizontal autoclaves; an aging sur lies follows for a period that is never less than 30 lunar cycles.
Superlative as an aperitif or with fish and shellfish-based dishes. Equally outstanding as an anytime wine, or to drink through the meal, unless red meats or game are on the menu.
Brilliant straw yellow color with vague greenish reflections, sparkling, very fine and persistent effervescence.
Delicate and fine on the nose, in the mouth it is very fresh, rich in structure, with infinite nuances including citrus and long aromatic persistence.
DOSAGGIO ZERO, COLLAVINI
Our Dosaggio Zero is born 100% from Ribolla Gialla. After an initial fermentation in steel and in barriques, it is re-fermented in large horizontal autoclaves followed by aging on the lees for a period of never less than 30 lunar cycles, during which the refermentation continues very slowly until the residual sugar is brought below 3 g/l. 12 months in the bottle are necessary to complete the long aging process.
Perfect as an aperitif with delicious canapés. Ideal for fish appetizers and cured meats.
Straw yellow color and perlage of rare finesse and persistence. Floral, fresh and citrus nose, which develops on fragrant notes of yeast and face powder.
The sip is full, sapid, extremely vertical and extraordinarily harmonious in its long fruity finish.
APPLAUSE, COLLAVINI
L’Applause is our Classic Millesimato Method, a blend of chardonnay and pinot noir. The grapes are already selected in the vineyard and then collected in crates at the first light of day, before the sun warms the pulp. The very soft squeezing allows to extract only the cream of the must. Refine on the lees in the bottle for 60 lunar cycles.
Excellent aperitif, it goes well with fish in the most varied interpretations.
Slightly deep yellow colour, lively and brilliant, with dense, minute and continuous perlage. Sharp, clean and complex aroma, reminiscent of variegated mixtures of ripe fruit and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate it is offered with all its fullness, due to the rich acid vein that supports it; perfect balance between yeast fragrance, aromatic freshness and long persistence.
IL GRIGIO, COLLAVINI
Il Grigio is perhaps the first Martinotti method in Friulian winemaking history, our sparkling wine born in 1971. Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay grapes, six months of aging sur lies and at least three months of rest in the bottle, give the Grigio a rare finesse.
Classic aperitif that goes well with seafood appetizers and cured meats.
It excels with cooked vegetables and baked fish in general. We like to call it a “boat wine”, perfect with appetizers.
Persistent foam with fine and continuous perlage. Pale straw colour, brilliant with greenish veins. Fragrant and fresh bouquet, notes of golden apple, pear and warm bread crust stand out. Round taste, slightly aromatic with a citrine vein, harmonious and persistent.
GRIGIO ROYAL, COLLAVINI
The Grigio Royal ages on the lees for at least 6 months, a lysis that well describes our sparkling wine style. The grapes cold macerate for 48 hours before pressing, from here the must ferments in steel for 10 days at a controlled temperature of 14-15°C. In spring the refermentation takes place in an autoclave and the aging on the lees lasts about 5 months. Before bottling, a unique and special touch is added: to complete the sparkling wine, a liqueur d’expedition composed of extracts of Carnia berries, to enhance its aromatic profile.
Excellent for an aperitif, it also goes well with fish appetizers, shellfish, fresh and medium-aged cheeses. Try it with homemade dry desserts.
The prolonged Martinotti method makes it possible to obtain a finely made sparkling wine with a lively but fine and persistent effervescence. With an intense pink color, the nose is fresh, fragrant and generous: strawberries, currants and raspberries blend in a slight memory of warm bread. In the mouth it is intriguing, round and creamy, thanks also to the aromatic harmony of the undergrowth which enhances the freshness and gustatory complexity of this sparkling wine.
PROSECCO, COLLAVINI
Our Prosecco ages on the lees for at least 4-6 months, a period during which the lysis is favored by periodic mechanical agitation. After the very soft pressing of the whole grapes, the fermentation of the must takes place in steel at a controlled temperature, followed in turn by refermentation in an autoclave at 14°C.
Try it with scallop mousse, warm barley salad and mixed vegetables and scampi risotto.
At sight a beautiful bright straw yellow color with delicate green hues is combined with a fine and persistent perlage. Fragrant, fresh and fruity are the first descriptors on the nose, with notes reminiscent of apple, jasmine and crusty bread. On the palate it is round, lively and slightly aromatic, accompanied by a delicate acidic sensation in the finish.
