The average content of the aroma precursors in the grapes from this sub-zone confirms the close relationship between microclimate, soil and the wine’s aromas: whereas the monoterpene compounds that determine floral hints are average, here the norisoprenoids that give the aromas of ripe fruit predominate.
In detail, hints of hawthorn blossoms and wisteria are accompanied by apples, peaches and yellow citrus fruit. Overall the aromas are intense and the flavours are pleasant and well balanced. In the mouth this sparkling wine is elegant, luscious and velvety, coherent with the aroma, given by the depth of the mainly clayey soil that ensures the right amount of water and nutrients, even in difficult years.
The colour of Col del Forno is soft yellow with greenish highlights. Its effervescence is gentle, creamy and lingering. Despite its strong personality, this is a versatile wine that goes well with all food, from fish to white meat, delicate cold cuts and medium-hard cheese.
