Malvasia Frizzante 'Forte Rigoni' Ariola

Rigoni's Malvasia Frizzante Forte is a brisk and aromatic white, produced by the long Charmat Method. Its seductive, soft aromas of citrus and white peach envelop the senses to deliver the thrill of a pleasantly fruity and fresh sip. It is a label that is part of Cantina Ariola's Gran Cru line, which brings together the most prestigious and high-quality bottles. Malvasia is an ancient grape variety of Greek origin, widespread in almost all countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Its name comes from the Peloponnesian port Monemvasia, from where ships departed for the main trading ports of the Mare Nostrum.

The sparkling white wine "Forte Rigoni" is made from pure Malvasia di Candia, a grape variety that has been grown with excellent results for centuries in the Colli di Parma area. The vineyards are located on the first band of hills rising from the Po Valley, at an altitude between 220 and 300 meters above sea level. The beautiful sunny exposures and draining soils of a silt-clay matrix proved ideal for bringing grapes rich in fragrance and aroma to maturity. After the harvest, the classic white vinification is carried out, followed by the "presa di spuma" and the second fermentation in stainless steel autoclave according to the Long Charmat Method. After several months of aging in tank, the wine is bottled.

Malvasia "Forte Rigoni" Ariola is a sparkling wine, extremely pleasant to drink. The use of the Charmat Method makes it possible to preserve the primary aromas and flavors of the grape and its expressive, softly fruity immediacy. In the glass it has a straw-yellow color, with a slight effervescence. The nose expresses scents of orange blossom and white flowers, citrus and white peach aromas. The sip is persuasive and captivating, with a perfect balance between ripe fruit and lively freshness.
