Avus – 100% Garganega Frizzante – 2018

The Story:   This is made by the good folks that produce the stunning Soave Classico we import, a wine that has won hearts and minds all over the UK.  It’s made with the same grapes but has not been filtered, so you’ll want to be all posh and decant this one to to remove the natural sediment that settles in the bottle. This is how they used to make fizzy wine before modern techniques were invented and only has only one gram of residual sugar. Yes, that’s right. Just one. It’s organic, its low sugar and it’s something a little different in the fizz department. It makes a great talking point with friends and family so an awesome choice to take with you to a lunch or a barbecue.

Tasting Note: What sets this fine frizzante apart is the time it spends luxuriating on its lees (yeast particles) and taking on a glorious aroma of baked bread. On the palate, glimmers of golden yellow apples and pears come through the fine perlage and move seamlessly into a creamy almond finish.

Please note, this wine is unfiltered, so a natural yeast deposit at the bottom of the bottle is perfectly usual and can be separated by decanting the wine.
