Alessandro Viola "Blanc de Blancs" Sicilia, NV, 750ml

Description

Alessandro Viola Blanc de Blancs NV is an organic sparkling wine from Sicily's Terre Siciliane IGT, produced using the méthode champenoise at his estate near Alcamo. Made from 100% Catarratto grapes grown on limestone soils in the Fastuchera district. The wine undergoes second fermentation in bottle followed by at least 20 months aging on lees before disgorgement. Produced as Pas Dosé with no dosage added, reflecting Viola's minimal intervention philosophy. Hand-harvested grapes ferment with indigenous yeasts, creating one of Sicily's most refined traditional-method sparkling wines from this native variety. 

Pale golden color with persistent fine bubbles. The nose reveals aromas of sage, rosemary, pear, apple, and briny sea air with mineral notes. The palate shows fresh citrus, honey touches, bitter almond, and distinctive saline minerality with lively persistent mousse.
