Type of bottle: Champagne/Spumante bottle.

Production Particulars: Fermentation and aging in small oak with the contact of its spent yeast. This yeast sediment is stirred periodically to create a more complex base wine for our spumante. The secondary fermentation in the bottle takes place in spring utilizing a base wine that’s a blend of two vintages. Pojer & Sandri disgorges its Brut after 30 months of maturation in bottle with the wine in contact with the spent yeast cells

	Organoleptic properties COLOUR:The color is lovely straw yellow. The perlage is really fine as the bubbles bead through the wine forming a persistent crown AROMA: The bouquet is very ripe; it displays the characteristic aromas of Chardonnay: You’ll find hints of vanilla, toasted almonds, hazelnuts, flint, hay and musk develop as the wine ages and develops in the bottle FLAVOUR:  On the palate it is dry, rich, nicely acidic and structured for immediate enjoyment or cellaring. This Spumante does not have a sweetening dosage added to it, so you’ll find it quite dry
	Best enjoyed at a temperature of 7-10°C.
	This style of sparkling wine lends itself not only as an aperitivo, but as a wine to pair with fine food
	5-6 years from the date of disgorgement.
