Vernaccia di Serrapetrona Spumante Secco Fabrini-Fontezoppa

The Dry Sparkling Vernaccia di Serrapetrona “Pian delle Mura” presents us with an important grape for the Marche terroir, Vernaccia Nera, in a truly original version, that is, in the form of bubbles. The credit for this particular choice goes to the ownership of the Fabrini-Fontezoppa winery, attentive to recovering the ancient traditions of wines produced in the Civitanova Marche terroir, reinterpreting them in a contemporary perspective. Thanks to this vision, we arrive at a sparkling Vernaccia Nera, to make a grape variety that, unfortunately, even today, while being part of the regional wine DNA, finds little space in terms of cultivated hectares.

The Vernaccia di Serrapetrona “Pian delle Mura” is a Dry Sparkling wine that comes from the pure use of a characteristic grape variety of Marche viticulture, Vernaccia Nera. The vines of this variety are cultivated with the utmost care and attention by the team at the Fabrini-Fontezoppa winery, in order to obtain, during the harvest period, healthy grapes rich in aromas. The grapes, after harvesting,they undergo a first fermentation in steel containers, and then referment thanks to the addition of grapes left to dry for a few months. The sparkling process finally occurs in autoclave, following the production rules of the Martinotti method.

“Pian delle Mura” presents itself to the eye with a very intense purple color, with a velvety and fine foam. On the nose, there is a whirlwind of aromas, shifting from spicy to mineral, also touching on notes of freshly picked small red fruit. On the palate, it is light-bodied, lively and easy to drink thanks to a pleasantly fresh sip, in perfect taste-olfactory balance. A label with which the Fabrini-Fontezoppa winery gives us a useful passe-partout at the table, given the distinctly gastronomic character of this Sparkling wine.
