Historic and forgotten varieties planted at 450m altitude facing southeast on rocky morainic hills rich in limestone. The vineyards are surrounded by woods, olive trees, hedges and fruit trees, to increase biodiversity as much as possible.
After manual harvest a majority of the grapes is destemmed and pressed with a variable length of maceration on skins, according to the natural rhythm of the vintage (2022 was 7 days with daily pumping over). Only the free-run must, the most precious, is used to extract the most delicate and elegant flavour notes.
1 to 2 months in dedicated stainless-steel tank on fine lees ; no filtration, no clarification, no racking, no added sulfites. The dates of bottling in May are decided according to astrological charts; when seasonal temperatures increase, the secondary fermentation spontaneously occurs on its lees within the bottle (Traditional Method) until Autumn. Unlike Champagne where 2nd fermentation is also within the bottle, a Col Fondo is not disgorged; the ye**ty residue leaves fine sediment in the bottom of the bottle (โfondoโ) giving more complexity, texture and flavours to the sparkling wine.
During this time, the wines will go through sound treatment and chakra healing, using 7 specific gemstones. Aging lasts for 10 months within the bottle before commercialisation of the wines.
๐พ Col Tamarie displays an exuberant bouquet of citrus, aromatic herbs, with a fresh, crisp, mineral, and persistent flavour. Its long aging complexity is highlighted by the classic scents of bread crust and yellow-fleshed fruit on top of the Meyer lemon. The mouth is lively with an acidic spine; pleasant, soft and well-balanced sip.
When serving the wine, do not skip the residuary โCol Fondoโ (floating residuals often remaining on the bottom).
An ideal wine for aperitifs or any kind of celebrations. But can also be left aging to develop more complexity.
Col Tamarie Frizzante is a true sparkling wine, that fears nothing.
