The Spumante boasts a dry, lightly structured style. It can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with appetizers and other light dishes. Equally, it drinks wonderfully as an accompaniment to first courses such as seafood pasta.
Vinification
The Villa Saletta Spumante is a sparkling rosé made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. Coming from a single vineyard within the estate, the wine is made using the traditional method (metodo classico) and is naturally zero dosage (no sugar added). The wine is hand-riddled and aged on the yeast for four years prior to hand-disgorging. It is naturally zero dosage, with residual sugar (less than 2 grams per litre) that is less than Extra Brut (pas dosé).About The Producer
Villa Saletta is a 1,760-acre estate located in the heart of Tuscany. Its story spans centuries, with the first written account of winemaking dating back to 980AD. In 2000, Guy and Julia Hands purchased the estate and began restoring its productive vitality, starting with the regrowth of the 22 hectares of vineyards in 2002. This includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese grape varietals. Under the stewardship of winemaker David Landini, this revitalisation, along with the diversity of the terroir and an ideal climate, has allowed Villa Saletta to produce a suite of award-winning, top-quality Tuscan wines.
