Territory and style of the wine

The Almerita Brut Sicilia DOC comes from the Tenuta Regaleali, in the province of Palermo, in the heart of Sicily. The vineyards are located about 500 meters above sea level, on sandy soils, in an area that promotes balanced ripening and a clear aromatic profile. The harvest took place on August 17, in a year that ensured good ripening of the grapes and a fresh varietal imprint. The refermentation in the bottle according to the classic method, combined with 24 months of aging on the lees, defines a careful, essential, and harmonious style, with a well-recognizable territorial imprint.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a fine and continuous perlage, accompanied by an elegant structure and a smooth yet not trivial sip. The olfactory profile is consistent with Chardonnay in sparkling form: fresh, clean, and discreet notes, supported by a sense of balance. On the palate, it shows a delicate creaminess, good freshness, and a dry finish, with a pleasant persistence. The fully completed malolactic fermentation contributes to making the sip softer and rounder, without sacrificing the overall liveliness of the wine.

Recommended pairings

Almerita Brut is perfect as an aperitif, but it also expresses itself very well at the table with seafood crudos, fish tartare, shellfish appetizers, light fried dishes, delicate risottos, and first courses based on vegetables or fish. Its brut setting and the structure of the classic method also make it suitable for medium complexity preparations, such as baked fish, delicate white meats, and fresh cheeses. The Magnum format makes it particularly interesting for toasts and convivial occasions.

Serving temperature

Serve Almerita Brut at a temperature of 6-8°C, to enhance the perlage and freshness without compromising the aromatic complexity. If the bottle has been stored for a long time, it may be useful to let it rest a few minutes in the glass after serving to gradually bring out the creamy component and the finesse of the classic method.
