The Benanti Noblesse 48 Months Method Classico Brut is a Sicilian sparkling wine of great elegance, produced exclusively with 100% Carricante grapes. This wine comes from the south-eastern slope of Etna, an area renowned for its high-quality viticulture. The denomination is Terre Siciliane IGT, which guarantees the origin and quality of the product. With an alcohol content of 12%, this sparkling wine is made according to the Method Classico Brut, which involves a long stay on the yeasts to develop complexity and finesse. The sandy volcanic soil, rich in skeleton and minerals, with a sub-acid reaction, gives the wine a unique minerality and a well-defined structure. The grapes are hand-picked and pressed whole with a soft squeezing of the bunch, to preserve the freshness and integrity of the fruit. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16-18 °C in steel, to maintain the primary aromas and freshness of the wine. After fermentation, the wine is left on its own yeasts until late spring, when it is sparkling. Subsequently, the wine remains in the bottle on selected yeasts for 48 months, a period that allows developing an aromatic complexity and a creamy structure. Before being marketed, the wine is disgorged, dosed and left to rest for about 3 months, to ensure a perfect balance between freshness and maturity. The Benanti Noblesse 48 Months Method Classico Brut is ideal to accompany appetizers, crustaceans and seafood, thanks to its lively acidity and its minerality. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 6 °C, to fully appreciate its organoleptic characteristics.
