Antica Cantina Parmigiana - "Momenti d'Autore" Extra Dry Spumante
The Cuvée Momenti d'Autore is the flagship sparkling wine for those seeking a versatile, refined, and immediately enjoyable bubbly. Produced using the Charmat (Martinotti) method, this wine originates from a careful selection of white grapes which, thanks to a slow, temperature-controlled secondary fermentation, retain the primary aromas of the fruit. The residual sugar typical of the Extra Dry version makes it soft and enveloping, without ever being cloying, thanks to a well-defined acidic backbone that cleanses the palate and invites a second sip. It is the "special occasion" wine, capable of transforming a simple toast into a special moment.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it presents a delicate and brilliant pale straw yellow color, animated by a fine, lively, and persistent perlage. The bouquet is a delicate interweaving of white flowers (acacia and jasmine) and crisp fruity notes, with clear hints of Rennet apple, pear, and a slight nuance of bread crust. On the palate, the entry is silky and harmonious; the fruity sweetness is perfectly balanced by a citrusy freshness that provides a brisk and refreshing drink. The finish is clean, with persistent floral returns.
Vinification and Aging The grapes are harvested early to preserve acidity and aromatic precursors. After gentle pressing, the free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Secondary fermentation takes place in an autoclave (Martinotti Method), where the wine rests on its lees for the time necessary to develop a fine perlage and a creamy structure. This is followed by a brief bottle aging to stabilize the sensory profile before release.
Food Pairings It is the ultimate aperitif sparkling wine. It pairs divinely with appetizers, typical Parmese cured meats (such as Prosciutto di Parma or Salame di Felino), and fresh cheeses. At the table, it elegantly accompanies fish appetizers, fried seafood, vegetable risottos, and light Mediterranean dishes. Also excellent with dry pastries or fruit tarts.
