Calatroni - Inganno 572 Brut Spumante VSQ Classic Method
Calatroni- Inganno 572 Brut Spumante VSQ - Classic Method Sparkling Wine
Before proceeding with the description of this excellent wine, it is worth focusing on the curious story from which the wine takes its name.
Alboin, king of the Lombards, on the eve of Easter 572, after 3 years of very harsh siege, managed to conquer the city of Pavia.
The people of Pavia, fearing ruthless revenge, try to ingratiate themselves with the new sovereign by offering him gold, jewels and 12 beautiful virgin girls.
In addition to these "gifts", an old baker offers the king a leavened bread in the shape of a dove, begging him, given the celebration of Easter around the corner, to spare the people of Pavia and respect the doves, a symbol of peace. The king agrees to the strange request, but soon realizes that he has been deceived: when he gathers the virgins and asks them their name, they all say their name is Colomba . King Alboin, however, will keep his word.
CHARACTERISTICS
Wine made 100% from Riesling grapes, with a beautiful straw yellow color with golden reflections and an elegant and persistent perlage. Of good minerality, it has a fruity taste, with clearly evident hints of rennet apple. Round and enveloping, with great balance between accentuated freshness and good persistence.
COMBINATIONS
Excellent as an aperitif, perfect with any type of fish.
