WINE DESCRIPTION

Elvi Cava Brut is a crisp, sparkling wine produced using indigenous varieties that includes Xarel-lo, Parellada and Macabeo. It is produced using the traditional method, which involves a second fermentation in bottle similar to Champagne. The wine is matured in bottle for a minimum of 9 months, creating a sparkling wine with a creamy-textured mousse. The wine is disgorged after ageing. This process involves ridding the bottle of its sediment, before topping it up with a touch of sugar that helps to balance the acidity.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Elvi Cava Brut presents a pale straw color with small bubbles that float slowly to the top of the glass.On the nose, delicate aromas of green apple, citrus fruits, and white flowers waft from the glass. On the palate, Elvi Cava Brut is crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that balances the fruitiness. The flavors of green apple and citrus fruits continue to shine, accompanied by hints of quince, pear and a touch of minerality. The wine has a medium body and a creamy texture, leading to a relatively brief, lightly savory finish.
