Grapes: 100% Garganega

Production: Garganega in purity, Avus is a sparkling wine with a base, as it was once done before modern sparkling winemaking techniques. The hand-picked grapes in plastic crates are de-stemmed and transformed into must by soft pressing. Avus is fermented at a controlled temperature between 16 ° and 18 ° in stainless steel tanks for about 3 months in contact with the fine lees and yeasts. Unfiltered, it is kept with its own yeasts in the bottle. 

Service temperature: 6-8 ° C 

Tasting Notes

First of all we recommend shaking the bottle gently: with this operation the characteristic "base" is suspended in the wine which will give it the distinctive hint of yeast and bread crust. We also suggest chilling the wine to help dissolve the carbon dioxide and slowly uncorking the unique crown cap. It is characterized by an intense aroma of yellow pulp fruit and honey. The light note of bread crust is given by the yeasts, while the bitter one is typical of the Garganega grape. 

Food pairings

Pizza! The Avus will be an excellent substitute for the traditional beer + pizza combination. Try this combination and we guarantee that you will feel less bloated and more satisfied. Other matching ideas can be: pesto rolls with cherry tomatoes, vegetables in batter, mixed cold cuts, risotto with tastasal or with grilled fish and shellfish.
