Description
What kind of wine it is
Lessini Durello 733 Brut is an elegant and balanced white sparkling wine, made from the pure vinification of the Durella grape variety. Visually, it displays a straw yellow colour enhanced by brilliant highlights, which anticipate an extremely clear sensory profile. The aromatic bouquet blends delicate nuances of elderflower and hawthorn with lively citrus notes of citron and yellow grapefruit. On the palate, this Brut sparkling wine reveals an immediate and pleasant character, standing out for its marked liveliness and a harmonious, fragrant finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the picturesque landscapes of Lessinia, an area historically dedicated to viticulture and protected by the Lessini Durello designation. Production is overseen by the Cantina di Montecchia, a historic local winery that brings together numerous local winegrowers. Careful vineyard management ensures a harvest that is consistent and representative of the local style. The deep connection with its place of origin allows the wine to express the typical freshness and crisp character that define the identity of wines from this region of Veneto.
How it is produced
The winemaking process aims to enhance the fruit's natural vitality through ageing in stainless steel. The secondary fermentation takes place in a pressurised tank using the Charmat Method, an ideal technique for preserving the fragrance of the aromatic profile and achieving an elegant perlage. The result is a dynamic and versatile wine, ideal to serve at a temperature between 8 and 10°C. Thanks to its refreshing profile, it is perfect as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with shellfish, seafood dishes and cheeses.
