UNTHINKABLE!
'Selossians' from all over the world: gather together! Here is the bottle that will literally send you into raptures. This Original Version (V.O.) proposed by the famous Avize maison is unique, because it is the result of a blend of three successive vintages, in perfect Selosse style which, for pleasure, lends itself to enhancing the territory as a whole, underlining the peculiarities of the different and varied parcels and not dedicating themselves to a specific vintage. From pure Chardonnay grapes coming from the Grand Cru vineyards around Avize, a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a very long refermentation in the bottle (at least 48 months with three movements in three different areas of the cellar) a complex and unforgettable tasting is born, a product of nature and of his 'whims' but also of his virtues and of a family that, since 1949, has represented the elite for the greatest enthusiasts.
Brilliant golden yellow colour, it shows a dense, very thin and long-lasting perlage. It bursts on the nose with complex notes of apple peel, candied citrus fruits and dried fruit, then oriental spices and yellow pulp fruit, with strong notes attributable to yeast and bread crust and a curious memory of panettone. Tasting with a cyclopean structure, wonderfully balanced, it is fresh and madly tasty, complete, soft and enveloping in its ruthless pace. The persistence is very long from which a floral tip emerges.
The delicious wine for savory pies, risotto alla pescatora, is perfect with bechamel or pesto-based preparations.
