The Fashion Victim Unica Brut is produced in the highest wine-growing areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the cellars of Astoria which under its own brand and trademark is known internationally for its excellent, competitively priced proseccos. Founded in 1987 by a family of winemakers, it has made technological innovation and set-up. In its evolution Astoria has sought to diversify itself from other wineries through the creation of highly sophisticated labels and bottles. Faceted and distinctive lines go well with the products, giving a sensory analysis that starts with sight and culminates in harmony with smell and taste.
Produced from a blend of typical Trevigiano grapes with the distinct aromaticity of the estate's Astoria the Fashion Victim Unica Brut is a harmonious and pleasantly acidic cuvée. The grapes are harvested by hand between September and October in the early and cooler hours of the night, at the moment of maximum chemical/organoleptic balance. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they are softly pressed and static decantation of the must takes place. Primary fermentation takes place in steel vessels at a controlled temperature of 18/19°C with selected indigenous yeasts. The new wine is kept on the noble lees for a month to retain more aroma and then made limpid before being racked into an autoclave for frothing.
Sparkling in the Charmat method takes about 25 to 30 days at 16 to 18°C. Before bottling, the wine matures on the same yeasts as the refermentation for a few days and then dosed and bottled, resulting in an elegant and distinctive sparkling wine.
Tasting Notes.: minute and persistent perlage from the straw yellow color clear. Bouquet elegant, clean, fruity for typical aroma. Characteristic flavor, pleasantly acidulous, harmonious.
Pairings: perfect with appetizers, fish, shellfish, cheese.
