Description

Buccia Neri Confondo Bianco 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: Chardonnay, Traminer, Incrocio Manzoni, Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Moscato Giallo from Tuscany, Italy

Taste Profile: Grapefruit yellow with a beautiful opalescence, with persistent bubbles that frame the point of contact between the wine and the curve of the glass. At the opening, the nose is characterized by yeast and baking scents and then it opens up with citrus fruits of pink grapefruit, mandarin, and flavors of Williams pear, hawthorn, jasmine, sage with mineral finish. On the palate there are very delicate bubbles, which pleasantly massages the entire mouth, and there is a decisive and pleasant citrus freshness, with balanced flavor and good length, and with an aftertaste and finish of citrus and fruit with a long wake of freshness that characterizes the whole tasting.

Complex & Classic Sparklings

From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
