Journey into the heart of the Canavese area, among the evocative hills of the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre. This is where Masilé, a sparkling wine Millesimato DOCG, produced by La Masera, was born. Made from pure Erbaluce, this indigenous grape variety is somewhat of an emblem of the area and has long since demonstrated its versatility, giving rise to bubbles of absolute value. In particular elaborated with the classic method, as in this case. A refined and elegant label. Merit also goes to the beautiful terroir, suited to the production of great wines, where the climate is cool and breezy, with significant temperature swings between day and night. The soils, composed of glacial detritus and calcareous and siliceous elements, give the grapes a distinct minerality and lively freshness. The grapes, harvested by hand at the right degree of ripeness, undergo soft pressing to extract the finest must. Alcoholic fermentation takes place partly in barriques and partly in stainless steel, with weekly bâtonnage to enhance the wine's characteristics. Then, in March, the sparkling process begins. The 'liqueur de tirage' is added to the wine, which triggers the sparkling process in the bottle. This is followed by an ageing period on the lees of at least 36 months, during which the wine develops its complexity and finesse. After disgorgement, the wine rests in the bottle for a further two months before release. In the glass, Masilé offers an intense, complex and elegant bouquet. Notes of bread crust intertwine with hints of wild herbs and light toasted nuances, creating a harmonious and refined picture. In the mouth, it is pleasantly fresh, harmonious and well-structured. Its effervescence is fine and persistent and a slight almondy note on the finish provides a lingering memory. Perfect to celebrate special moments and to accompany refined dishes. Excellent as an aperitif, it is ideal with hors d'oeuvres, fish and shellfish dishes, white meats and fresh cheeses.
