| Tasting Notes |
A light sparkling wine, balanced and easy to combine with many dishes. The label is BRAND NEW and Val D'Oca offers it to you by inviting you to the tasting.
All the grapes that are used to give rise to this nectar come from a single year of production, particularly favorable. For this reason, on the label you will find the word Millesimato which indicates precisely this qualitative aspect. They are picked exclusively by hand.
At sight it is straw yellow with slight greenish reflections. As soon as it is poured into the glass, the elegant perlage begins to rise up to the surface and brings with it the refined olfactory scents. In fact, if we bring the glass closer to the nose, we can easily distinguish the aroma of white fruit like apple and pear and some citrus notes. Flowers are not lacking, wisteria and acacia are clear and persistent. The taste is well balanced between acidity, softness and flavor.
Suggested food to accompany: Excellent alongside regional first courses, based on fish or light second courses like grilled white meats or rolls and carpaccio in general. Ideal also for aperitifs accompanied by finger food, olives or other small snacks.

Tasting Notes

The Ca N´Estruc red wine is the pure essence of a unique terroir, an intense and youthful wine from the slopes of the holy mountain of Montserrat in Barcelona. A lovely concentration of ripe black fruit and a refreshing note of liquorice stick. Balanced on the palate with a pleasant tannin and long aftertaste.
Elaboration: Traditional method, selection and destemming of the grapes and cold maceration for 5 days. Fermentation in 25hl to 200hl stainless steel tank under controlled temperature between 17°C to 21°C for 10 to 15 days.
Food Pairing: All types of red meat, poultry, cooked ham, all rice dishes e.g. paella, risottos, fried rice.
