Spumante Brut Parlantina 2023 - Venit x 6

The Agronomic Innovation and Ecological Framework of Spumante Parlantina Bronner

The Parlantina Bronner Spumante Brut from the Cordero winery stands as a definitive milestone for sustainable sparkling winemaking, raising disease-resistant grape varieties to an absolute standard of expressive purity. The name and the symbolic eye printed on the label evoke the ability to anticipate future trends, breaking away from the constraints of traditional chemical vineyard management. The white Bronner grape has been integrated into the estate’s parcels to eliminate phytosanitary treatments completely, allowing the vine to thrive in total biological harmony. The project yields a sparkling wine driven by an extraordinary vertical energy, engineered to chart uncharted tasting pathways in contemporary enology.

Agronomic Features and Long Martinotti Method Protocol

The blocks are established on deep clay-heavy fields, a precise pedoclimatic matrix that secures constant water regulation while imparting an excellent structural density of extracts to the volume. Hand-harvesting targets a highly monitored operational window to lock in peak phenolic ripeness, protecting a balanced total acidity of 5.50 g/l. In the cellar, the primary fermentation occurs inside temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The secondary fermentation takes place in autoclaves using the Martinotti-Charmat method for an extended duration of 120 days; this maturation on the lees, followed by an additional 4 months of bottle resting, enriches the structure with creamy nuances without masking its original citrus core.

• Appellation, Blend, and ABV: 100% Bronner / Sparkling Wine Brut / 12.50% ABV / Residual Sugar: 9.50 g/l (Brut Dosage) / Secondary Fermentation: 120 days in Martinotti autoclave (From PIWI Resistant Vines).
• Visual Presentation: Rich, luminous straw yellow color, displaying a very fine, tight, and exceptionally persistent perlage in the glass.
• Aromatic Bouquet: Intense and forward nose, showcasing dominant notes of fresh grapefruit and citron, layered with botanical hints of thyme, sage, and elegant undertones of mountain blossoms and fresh bread crust.
• Palate Texture: Dry, tensed, and remarkably vibrant on the entry. The mid-palate delivers a balanced texture where a well-integrated, creamy perlage supports a rounded mouthfeel, driven by a refreshing acidity that leads into a persistent, intensely forward and clean finish.

Food Pairings and Serving Recommendations

The excellent fluid framework and crisp acidity of this organic sparkling PIWI selection support outstanding versatility across everyday dining and contemporary fusion menus, as noted by award-winning sommelier Cristian Maitan.

• Classic Pairings: Stands as an exceptional choice for opening wine service as a high-end aperitif. At the table, it pairs naturally with sea bass tartare seasoned simply with salt and olive oil, or red mullet carpaccio served with buttered bread.
• Creative and Fusion Cuisine: Offers a fascinating match for candied citron risotto finished with capers and sage, and excels alongside rice vermicelli cooked with edamame and crunchy vegetables.
• Serving Conditions: To optimize the delicate sparkle and maximize the fresh aromas of the bouquet, serve in a traditional tulip sparkling glass at a steady chilled temperature of 6 - 8°C.
