Description
What kind of wine is it
Foss Marai Spumante Dolce Reale is a quality aromatic wine made from White Muscat grapes. It appears a straw yellow colour with golden highlights, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it releases the typical bouquet of the grape variety, combining citrus notes with hints of peach, apricot and sage. On the palate, it is sweetly balanced, ideal for accompanying starters, fruit salads and fruit-based desserts, such as tarts and custard pastries.
Where does it come from
This sparkling wine originates from the hills of the Foss Marai estate, in the province of Treviso, in the heart of Veneto. Its hillside origin defines its identity, enhancing the pedoclimatic characteristics of the area. The winery values its deep connection with its place of origin through ongoing research into winemaking techniques. To ensure a rigorous quality profile, the wine undergoes blind tastings conducted by a select group of oenologists.
How is it produced
The manual harvest, carried out in September, allows the grapes to be selected at their peak organoleptic balance. The white vinification process involves storing the must at a low temperature, thus preserving the delicate primary aromas of the variety. The secondary fermentation takes place in a pressurised tank directly from the must, following the Charmat method at a controlled temperature. The result is a wine that retains its fragrance, balanced by a pleasant residual sugar and lively acidity. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 6–8 °C.
History and Curiosities
Produced by the winery founded in 1984, Spumante Dolce Reale expresses the authentic vocation of the Venetian hills of the Foss Marai Estate. The company combines local roots with a constant pursuit of oenological excellence, beginning with a meticulous manual harvest in September, when the grapes reach perfect balance. To preserve the intense aromatic richness of the must, the secondary fermentation takes place at a strictly controlled temperature according to the Charmat method. Quality is ensured by blind tastings conducted by a group of oenologists.
