Description

History

Mirabella is a historic Franciacorta company, located in Rodengo-Saiano, in the province of Brescia. At the basis of their production philosophy there is respect and care for nature and its fruits, and the wholesomeness of the wine produced with respect for man and the consumer. Three oenologists form the basis of Mirabella, Teresio Schiavi, the heart and founder of the company and his two sons Alessandro and Alberto, who are today respectively Cellar Master/Sales Manager and Marketing Manager of the company.

Grapes used

Chardonnay 80%

Pinot Blanc 20%

Production method

The grapes are harvested manually, in order to preserve their quality. After the soft pressing of the grapes, the wine is fermented, obtaining the base wine which will then be refermented; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked). The process lasts for at least 24 months on the lees and is disgorged at least 3 months before being placed on the market.

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

Crystalline straw yellow color, with fine and persistent perlage. Delicate notes of citrus fruits, white flowers and bread crust, with notes of ripe banana and golden apple. On the palate it is creamy, fine, with a nice final freshness and acidity on the finish of the sip.

Possible combinations

Edea is ideal as an aperitif for a toast with special people, or in combination with fresh and creamy cheeses, fish crudités and/or sushi/sashimi. Also perfect to combine with first courses with creamy white sauces or with asparagus-based dishes.
