These conditions favored the development of intense aromas and a lively freshness, fundamental elements for obtaining a brilliant and harmonious sparkling wine.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eSicilia DOC Metodo Classico Brut 2021 - Donnafugata\u003c\/strong\u003e is born from a first fermentation in steel at controlled temperature to preserve the fruity aromas of the grapes. Subsequently, secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, with an aging period on the lees of about 20-24 months. This long refinement gives aromatic complexity, creamy texture, and a fine and persistent perlage. After disgorgement (the phase in which the yeast sediment is removed), the wine rests for a few more months in the bottle before sale, to achieve full harmony.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nA wine that captivates at first glance and first sip, capable of combining delicacy and vivacity thanks to a well-balanced structure.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nBrilliant straw yellow with golden reflections and a fine, continuous perlage, a sign of the long aging on the lees and the quality of the production method.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is fine and complex: aromas of bread crust and yeast stand out, ripe white fruits such as apple and pear, with a touch of citrus and wild flowers reminiscent of the Mediterranean.
