Siro Merotto Frizzante ColFondo Agricolo ‘In un Sol Bianco’ is an artisanal expression with a genuine and sincere identity, of lively pleasantness. The ColFondo Agricolo project brings together winemakers like Nicola, son of Siro Merotto, united by the desire to highlight the Glera grown in the Treviso Hills and refermented in the bottle according to the Ancestral Method, without disgorgement, finally bottled with a crown cap. The result is sparkling wines characterized by a smooth drinkability that express the ancestral essence of the territory.
The Frizzante ColFondo Agricolo ‘In un Sol Bianco’ from the Siro Merotto winery originates from a selection of white grapes harvested exclusively by hand. After soft pressing, the must is conveyed into stainless steel tanks for the start of alcoholic fermentation. In April, when temperatures begin to rise, the liquid is bottled with suspended yeasts and part of the natural residual sugars from the must-wine. At this point, fermentation continues in glass according to the Ancestral Method, leading to the formation of a pleasant effervescence and the total absence of residual sugar. After about a year, the wine is finally marketed with a crown cap, without prior disgorgement.
Visually, ‘In un Sol Bianco’ Frizzante ColFondo Agricolo from Siro Merotto presents itself with a bright straw yellow hue. The nose unfolds with aromas of ripe yellow fruit, candied citrus, and white flowers, enriched by soft hints of pastry cream and bread crust. The taste is intense, lively, and adequately complex, with good freshness and excellent persistence. The finish recalls fragrant notes of yeast and fresh sensations of citrus.
