Damna Lunae Pinot Bianco Spumante Extra Dry

Damna Lunae Pinot Bianco Spumante Extra Dry is a refined Italian sparkling wine that captures the elegant side of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Crafted from Pinot Bianco, it offers a delicately aromatic profile with a fine mousse and a beautifully balanced, gently off-dry finish. The name “Damna Lunae” comes from a Latin expression meaning “the setting of the moon,” a tribute to the lunar cycles that guide the work in the vineyard and cellar.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this spumante shows a pale straw-yellow color with shimmering greenish reflections and a persistent stream of fine, lively bubbles. On the nose, it opens with notes of crisp green apple, pear and white peach, wrapped in delicate floral tones of acacia and elderflower, with a subtle hint of citrus zest and fresh bread dough. The palate is light to medium-bodied, silky and refreshing, with a creamy mousse that carries flavors of orchard fruits, lemon cream and a touch of almond. The Extra Dry dosage gives a gentle sweetness that is perfectly countered by bright acidity, making the wine feel clean and vibrant rather than heavy. The finish is crisp and pleasantly persistent, with lingering notes of citrus and white flowers. Best enjoyed within a few years of release, it is meant to be appreciated for its youthful freshness rather than long-term cellaring.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, this Pinot Bianco benefits from a cool, ventilated climate and well-drained, mineral-rich soils that help retain acidity and finesse in the grapes. Harvest typically takes place in the early hours, often aligned with lunar phases, to preserve aromatic purity and natural freshness. The grapes are gently pressed, and the base wine is fermented at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel to lock in delicate fruit and floral notes. The secondary fermentation, which creates the bubbles, is carried out in pressurized tanks (Charmat/Martinotti method), allowing the winemaker to preserve Pinot Bianco’s crisp, aromatic character while achieving an elegant, persistent perlage.

Food & Serving
This Extra Dry spumante is a versatile partner at the table and a superb choice as an aperitif. Pair it with light seafood dishes such as shrimp cocktails, oysters, scallops, sushi, or a simple plate of grilled fish. It also works beautifully with fresh cheeses, vegetable tempura, prosciutto, and delicate canapés. Serve well-chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F) to highlight its freshness and fine bubbles; decanting is not necessary, but opening the bottle a few minutes before serving allows the aromas to fully express themselves.

Producer
Damna Lunae is a producer that places nature’s rhythms—especially the lunar cycle—at the center of its philosophy, as reflected in the name meaning “the setting of the moon.” Working in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region renowned for its crisp, expressive white wines, the winery focuses on translating the purity of the grapes and terroir into elegant, modern styles. Attention to detail in both vineyard and cellar, along with a respect for traditional practices guided by the moon, has helped Damna Lunae carve out a distinct identity among local producers, offering wines that are both characterful and approachable.
