Helios

Spumante Brut Nature

It appears shimmering and radiant, with a dense, generous mousse and a spiralling bead of pin-point bubbles. Its intense, clean-contoured bouquet is redolent of apple and pear, backgrounded by scents of hawthorn blossom and aromatic herbs, which creates a dynamic balance between refreshing crispness and rich aromatics. Clean and dry on a palate that is broad and firmly-structured, with additional notes of fruit. Overall, a refined wine of beautiful proportions.

VIneyard The vineyards, lying on hillslopes at 100-250 metres’ elevation, are trained largely to Guyot at an average density of 4,000 vines/hectare. The grapes are handpicked between mid- to late September, and the yield averages 85 hectolitres/hectare. The climate is temperate, with cold winters, hot but well-ventilated summers, and fairly good day-night temperature differentials.

VINIFICAtion After de-stemming and pressing, the must briefly macerates on the skins and is then gently pressed off with a pneumatic press. The must gravity-settles, then ferments at 18-20 °C. The secondary fermentation is carried out in accord with the Italian Method over a period of some three months.

serving glass Serve at 6-8 °C in a large-bowled tulip-shaped wineglass.

PAIRING AND CELLARING HELIOS’s structure and full body make it an outstanding aperitif wine, partnering beautifully with antipasti and fish and vegetarian dishes. Enjoy it too with lighter meats and baked fish, such as turbot and John Dory; it is delicious as well with fresh goat and sheep cheeses. It is best enjoyed during the year following harvest, but if it is properly stored during a period of three years from harvest, both bouquet and palate will gain an impressive complexity.
