Classical sparkling wine Virgo
Virgo Zero Dosage 0,75l
The epitome of purity and sophistication.
The aroma is complex and charming with traits of dried fruit and a touch of bread crust. Its character is distinctly mineral with a pronounced citrusy freshness. Flavours of white and citrus fruits are completed by a full-bodied mouthfeel and a balanced minerality that culminate in a convincing and long finish.

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Ribolla Gialla vineyards are located in the villages of Hruševlje, Biljana, Vipolže, Kojsko, Cerovo, Višnjevik, Krasno, Verdijan, and Šmartno at elevations ranging from 100 to 280 meters above sea level. The soil is limestone, with a vine density between 4000 and 5000 vines/ha. The yield is between 2 and 3 kg of grapes per vine.
Each grape variety is harvested separately. After separate fermentation, there is a seven-month aging period by variety in stainless steel tanks. The result is a base wine with 11% alcohol. Subsequently, all three varieties are blended. The wine is then poured into 0.75-liter bottles, where secondary fermentation occurs. The wine rests on lees (sur lie) for at least 48 months, followed by manual disgorging and the addition of liqueur without additional sugar (pas dose).
The sparkling wine is yellow-green and gold in colour. Its tiny delicate bubbles are vibrant and energetic. The aroma is complex and charming with traits of dried fruit and a touch of bread crust. Its character is distinctly mineral with a pronounced citrusy freshness. Flavours of white and citrus fruits are completed by a full-bodied mouthfeel and a balanced minerality that culminate in a convincing and long finish.
Ideally as an aperitif paired with sushi or shrimps. Serve cooled at 6-8°C.
