Sensorial analysis
Our Fior d'Arancio Spumante is a fine, elegant wine with a persistent perlage. Endowed with excellent freshness, it recalls the typical aromatic scent of the Moscato Giallo grape: floral, citrus and fresh white fruit notes, with nuances of aromatic herbs. On the palate it is sweet but not cloying, accompanied by excellent freshness and minerality.
The history of Fior d’Arancio dei Colli Euganei
Probably originating in Syria, Moscato Fior d’Arancio is widely diffused in the Euganean Hills and in 2011 was awarded the DOCG Colli Euganei Fior d’Arancio. The name derives from the floral and citrus scents that characterise this aromatic variety from the bunch to the glass. Its versatility allows it to produce different expressions: from dry wine to sweet spumante and passito wine. The sweet sparkling wine version is perhaps the best known and, in addition to its lightness, offers aromas of yellow fruit, citrus fruits, flowers, sweet spices and aromatic herbs.
Pairings
Our Fior d’Arancio Spumante is ideal for festive toasts. Due to its delicate taste-olfactory balance, it goes perfectly with sweet buns, creams and tarts, panettone and Easter doves. We recommend serving at around 6°C.
