I Clivi 'Nomi' Brut Nature Sparkling

I Clivi 'Nomi' Brut Nature Sparkling - Friuli, Italy

Nomi’s bubbles are originated by the primary fermentation of the must, differing substantially from conventional sparkling processes – Champenoise and Charmat, both made by inducing a secondary fermentation of a wine by the addition of sugar and yeasts. Our starting point is therefore a must, not a finished wine. The bubbles are made by retaining in the fermenting must the CO2 produced in the final stages of its fermentation. So there is no secondary fermentation – there is no need for it – and therefore no addition of sugar nor yeasts. In this way the grape variety retains its aroma and salinity in a primary frame.

Grape Variety: Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Nero

Style: White - Dry, medium-bodied, gentle bubbles, low residual sugar 

Drink Window: Now - 2 years

Perfect For: Arancini, tempura, or fried chicken, pan-seared white fish, oysters on the half shell, and creamy goat cheese or Brie.

A bone-dry sparkling white gem that captures the pure essence of Friuli's limestone hills, delivering a vibrant rush of crispiness with green apple, sea-air salinity, and refined bubbles.
