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.

Sommeliers highlight its subtle complexity despite the dry Extra Brut style, noting how the floral and fruity aromas elegantly mingle with a slight mineral undertone. This wine is considered a versatile and refined choice, ideal for those who appreciate a sparkling wine that is expressive yet restrained.
Food Pairing Suggestions:
This Extra Brut sparkling wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. It complements seafood well, including sashimi, shellfish, crab, and lobster, enhancing their delicate flavors without overpowering them. It is also excellent alongside raw cured meats like San Daniele prosciutto, light antipasti, and fresh Italian cheeses. Additionally, it works beautifully as an aperitif or with light salads and vegetable-based starters.
