Tasting Notes
In the glass, Surfiner Cuvée Brut shows a pale straw-yellow color with silvery highlights and a fine, persistent perlage that forms a delicate crown of bubbles. The nose is bright and inviting, with notes of green apple, pear and white peach from the Glera, joined by citrus zest, elderflower and a subtle herbal lift from the Sauvignon Blanc, all wrapped in a gentle floral veil. On the palate, this is crisp, lively and thoroughly refreshing. Chardonnay lends a touch of creaminess and structure, while Glera keeps the wine light on its feet with juicy orchard-fruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc adds tension and vibrancy, bringing out lime, gooseberry and a saline edge that hints at sea breeze. The finish is clean, dry and pleasantly moreish, making it easy to return for another glass. As a non‑vintage sparkling wine made for immediate enjoyment, it is best drunk within a few years of purchase to preserve its vivid fruit and brisk acidity.

Production
Surfiner Cuvée Brut is born in the rolling hills of Veneto, where a mix of clay-limestone and well-drained alluvial soils helps preserve freshness and aromatics in the grapes. The fruit is harvested in the cool hours, typically by careful hand-picking and selective sorting to keep only healthy bunches, essential for elegant sparkling wine. After gentle pressing, the base wines from Chardonnay, Glera and Sauvignon Blanc are fermented separately at controlled, cool temperatures in stainless steel to protect their delicate aromas. The cuvée is then assembled and undergoes a second fermentation in pressurized tanks (Charmat/Martinotti method), a technique that highlights primary fruit and floral notes. A short period on fine lees adds texture before the wine is bottled Brut, with a dry, balanced dosage that underlines freshness rather than sweetness.

Food & Serving
This Cuvée Brut in Doppio Magnum is tailor‑made for gatherings, aperitifs and festive occasions. It pairs beautifully with seafood canapés, oysters, sushi, marinated shrimp, and light fish dishes, as well as fresh goat cheese, prosciutto, vegetable tempura and delicate salads. Serve well chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F) to emphasize its crisp, zesty character. In this large format, a brief 10–15 minutes on the table after opening will allow the aromas to open fully; decanting is not necessary, but using tall, tulip-shaped sparkling wine glasses will best showcase its fine bubbles and layered bouquet.
