Well known for combining age-old Italian tradition with a passion for innovation, the team behind Dalla Cia are delighted to launch an exciting new addition to their wine range – a brut sparkling Pinot Grigio named Bullicante.
The name Bullicante derives from a technique used by the Murano Art Glassblowers in Venice, where layers of air bubbles are blown into thick glass and pulled with the blowpipe to form elongated depressions. In a similar way, we have added bubbles to our wine range using a very northern Italian cultivar, Pinot Grigio, not often used as a bubbly.
The Pinot Grigio grapes are grown within 15km of the ocean and handpicked at optimal ripeness in the early hours of the morning. Slow cool fermentation follows twelve hours of skin contact and after two months on the lees, the wine is bottled.
On opening, our Bullicante brut presents a gentle bouquet of citrus, orange blossom and minerality. It’s crisp on the palate with a well-balanced mouthfeel and low acidity. The finish is gentle and with a lingering aftertaste of cream, marzipan and white pear.
