Description:
Balan Symphonia Extra Brut NV is a sparkling wine from the Veneto IGT region in northeastern Italy. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the foothills of Mount Caneva and are gently pressed and cold-macerated to extract delicate aromas. The wine undergoes fermentation followed by the Charmat method for sparkling wine production, with around 40 days of secondary fermentation to develop fine bubbles and a clean, crisp profile. The Extra Brut style denotes very low residual sugar, delivering a dry and refreshing wine with bright floral notes of white flowers, apple, yellow fruits, and subtle hints of red fruit.
The Balan Symphonia Extra Brut NV offers a delicate and elegant sensory experience, with bright and fresh aromas of white flowers, crisp green apple, and ripe yellow fruits. On the palate, it is dry and clean, showcasing fine, persistent bubbles that enhance its refreshing character. Subtle hints of red fruit add complexity without overpowering the delicate floral and fruity profile. The wine’s low residual sugar and vibrant acidity make it a lively and invigorating sparkling wine, perfect for aperitifs or pairing with light seafood and delicate appetizers.
