Alberto Quacquarini Vernaccia di Serrapetrona Secco

Alberto Quacquarini Vernaccia di Serrapetrona Secco is an exceptional Italian red sparkling wine with the esteemed DOCG. Crafted by the skilled producer Alberto Quacquarini, this wine hails from the Serrapetrona appellation, situated in the region of Marche, Italy. The key feature of this wine is its unique vinification process. It's made from 100% Vernaccia Nera grapes, of which 60% are dried in special ventilated rooms to concentrate their flavors. The wine undergoes a triple fermentation process, known as the Charmat lungo method. Initially, a portion of the harvest is fermented immediately. Then, after three months, the dried grape must is added to the base wine for a second fermentation, intensifying the wine's aromatic complexity. Finally, a third fermentation is conducted to create the effervescent bubbles. Alberto Quacquarini Vernaccia di Serrapetrona Secco is a lively ruby red in color with a fine and persistent perlage. It offers intense and aromatic scents. The taste profile is soft, velvety, full-bodied, with a persistent and slightly bitter aftertaste. It pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes, thanks to its unique and versatile flavor profile. Whether enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to various culinary delights, this wine is a testament to Italian winemaking excellence.
