Story of the wine:
I'M-PRESSIONE is a bottle-refermented wine that embodies the essence of the Brisighella territory and the mastery of winemaking. This unique wine is made from Trebbiano montanaro grapes, hand-harvested in the first week of September to ensure optimal acidity.
The vineyard of origin is located in the picturesque "Valpiana di Brisighella" area, at 240 meters above sea level, and covers about 8000 square meters. The 35-year-old vines enjoy a northeast exposure and are surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, immersed in a wooded setting that gives the wine unique characteristics. The vineyard yield is about 50 quintals.
Once in the cellar, the grapes undergo gentle processing through a soft pneumatic press, aimed at obtaining a more "subtle" and refined product. The must is then transferred to steel tanks, where spontaneous fermentation occurs thanks to the indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes.
During winter, the wine undergoes two rackings to remove the gross lees, with the addition of 2 grams of potassium metabisulfite per 100 liters to ensure stability and prevent undesired oxidation.
In spring, the winemaking process takes a unique turn: the must from "Canyon D'Ammone", preserved from the previous September and particularly rich in sugars and aromas, is thawed. This must is added to the Trebbiano mass, which has previously fermented to dryness.
After two days of blending, the wine is hermetically bottled to preserve the carbon dioxide that will give life to the effervescence. The thawed must not only initiates the refermentation in the bottle, creating the characteristic fizziness, but also contributes fine lees that give body and a pleasant complexity during aging.
I'M-PRESSIONE requires at least 9 months of bottle aging before reaching its full potential. The result is a unique sparkling wine that expresses the complexity of Trebbiano montanaro and the art of bottle refermentation, offering a sensory experience that captures the essence of the Brisighella territory.
