Descrizione
History
Lona Ester, located in the Cembra Valley (Trentino-Alto Adige), works terraced high-altitude vineyards where the alpine setting fosters significant thermal shifts and slow ripening. The Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut cuvée is one of the estate’s flagship wines: low yields, extended lees ageing (over 40 months in recent releases), and a style that emphasizes fruit purity and terroir mineral expression. The 2021 vintage, balanced and shaped by favourable conditions, allows the wine to perform with elegance and precision.
Grape variety
Chardonnay 100%
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes. Classic method with secondary fermentation in bottle, long ageing on the lees (in excess of 40 months) to develop complexity and fine mousse. Extra Brut dosage to favour freshness and purity. Bottle-aged prior to release.
Alcohol content
Approx. 12.5%
Tasting notes
Intense straw yellow colour with a very fine and persistent mousse. On the nose: citrus (lemon, grapefruit), golden apple, white flowers, a hint of bread crust and evident saline minerality. On the palate: refined and lively, creamy bubbles, very vibrant acidity, clean structure and a long, savoury finish that invites another sip.
Food pairings
Ideal as an elegant aperitif; pairs excellently with seafood crudos, oysters, sushi, sashimi, white fish carpaccio, delicate risottos, refined vegetarian dishes or fresh cheeses. Also perfect for celebratory and convivial occasions thanks to its versatility and elegance.
