About this wine
Wine Style:
Sparkling - Afresh, well-structured sparkling of exceptional quality that offers incredible value it provides to wine consumers.
Tasting Notes:
Pure white colour with a touch of green, the rim colour display shades of yellow. The nose is rich and insistent - summer flower notes with a hint of green apples in the background and opens up to rose petals and followed with anis, implying a certain sweetness on the palate which is completely offset by a pleasant and impressive acidity, rare in this sparkling category. Bitter-crisp, green and savoury at the same time.
Gastronomy:
Mediterranean style salads, steamed fish, non-spicy poultry even sorbets and fruit tarts.
Vineyards:
Central Moldova, vineyards with the proven potential of yielding solid white grapes with good acidity and developed aromatics. Feteasca Alba grape variety, also well known and cultivated in Hungary and Romania, recognized for zingy, flavourful sparkling wines. Cricova Crisecco is one of the best examples.
Ageing method:
6 months in stainless steel tanks.
Winemaking process:
Crisecco is made from Fetească Albă, Moldova's native 'white maiden' grape, with a touch of Muscat. Its bubbles come from a second fermentation in sealed stainless-steel tanks (Charmat method), which keeps the floral, fruity aromas fresh. Cricova is famous for its 120 km of underground galleries, a former limestone mine turned into a wine city.
Vinoteka's note
Cricova's answer to Prosecco, made from Moldova's own Fetească Albă grape in stainless-steel tanks. Floral and fresh, light and refreshing, with the bright aroma typical of the variety. Serve well chilled, at 4–6 °C, as an aperitif or with light dishes. Cricova's cellars run for 120 km underground, up to 80 metres deep.
