Cantina Sanpaolo, Jacarando Blanc de Blancs Spumante Brut

75cl/150cl

The inspiration for Jacarando Brut Sparkling was born from reading a book. Wine maker Claudio Quarta was in Mexico when, by reading the words by Pino Cacucci, he had the idea of producing a sparkling wine that was irreverent, “caciarone”, a sparkling wine that everyone would love and enjoy, but with a strong personality. He immediately brought his ideas straight to the cellar in Irpinia, the “North” in the South.

“Jacarando”: in Mexico, bright young, lively, a protagonist; “like the Jacaranda that when blooms become a noisy tree that attracts all the attention and puts in the background every other plant”.

TASTING NOTES

Bright straw yellow colour with persistent bubbles. Interesting bouquet that immediately highlights inviting essences of grapefruit, golden apple, pear and banana. Background of sage and thyme. The sensations of white flowers are delicate. In the mouth it's fresh and dry due to the reduced residual sugar; clean, fragrant, savoury, persuasive, elegant, light and extremely drinkable with a satisfying finish.

Pairings

As an aperitif or combined with light seafood dishes without tomatoes.

THE MAKER: Cantina Sanpaolo

Cantina Sanpaolo is in a hilly area between the provinces of Avellino and Benevento, with a wide variety of soil types in the vineyards, ranging from clayey to chalky and sandy and influenced by the volcanic ash from the mighty volcano Vesuvius. The vines grow at altitudes up to 700 metres, and receive very intense sunlight during the day, while the temperatures drop quite dramatically at night, making the grapes even more aromatic.
The winery has modern equipment for producing whites and reds and for aging in the beautiful cellar containing 65 barrels of different sizes: barriques, tonneaus and oak casks.
