Lamborghini Brut Vino Spumante

Lamborghini Brut Vino Spumante is a dry sparkling wine led by Chardonnay, with Pinot Grigio, and built from base wines of selected vintages. The grapes come from the province of Treviso, and the bubbles are made in tank. It pours straw yellow with a fine, steady bead. The nose is delicate, with almond, citrus and white flowers, and the palate is very dry and smooth. A crisp choice for an aperitif or smoked lobster, delivered across Ontario.

The producer

Tenuta Lamborghini is the wine estate near Panicale in Umbria that the carmaker Ferruccio Lamborghini chose for his later years, now run by his daughter Patrizia.

The vineyards

Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay from Sylvoz-trained vines in the province of Treviso, picked between 25 August and 5 September. Yields are 11,000 kg of grapes per hectare.

How it's made

Gentle pressing and fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeasts come first. The second fermentation lasts 3 to 4 months in tank by the Martinotti-Charmat method, with 4 to 6 months of ageing after. It finishes with 6.00 g/l residual sugar and 6.00 g/l total acidity.

How it tastes

Straw yellow with a fine, persistent bead. The nose is intense and delicate, with hints of almond, citrus and white flowers. The palate is very dry, soft and harmonious.

How to serve it

Serve at 6 to 8°C as an aperitif or with smoked lobster finished with lemon zest.
