Description
History
Villa Corniole is a family-run winery located in the heart of Trentino’s Cembra Valley, one of Italy’s most distinctive heroic viticulture areas. The vineyards are planted on steep alpine terraces with strong temperature variations and mineral-rich soils, ideal conditions for premium sparkling wine production. The Salìsa line represents the winery’s most elegant Trentodoc expression, focused on finesse, freshness and terroir identity.
Grape variety
Chardonnay 100%
Vinification
The grapes are hand-selected and gently pressed using only free-run juice. Fermentation takes place mainly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, while a small portion ages in oak to add complexity and structure. Secondary fermentation occurs in bottle according to the traditional method, followed by extended lees ageing in underground cellars at constant temperature, enhancing aromatic depth and mousse finesse.
Alcohol content
12.5%
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with very fine persistent bubbles. Aromas of flowers, ripe yellow fruit, golden apple and citrus combine with hints of hazelnut, toasted bread and yeast derived from long lees ageing. On the palate it is savoury, fresh and mineral with vibrant acidity, elegant structure and a long harmonious finish.
Food pairings
Perfect as a refined aperitif, it pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, raw seafood, sushi, delicate starters, seafood risottos and aged cheeses. Also excellent with contemporary gourmet cuisine thanks to its mineral freshness and palate precision.
