Lagoalva Espumante

Description

Lagoalva The long tradition of Quinta da Lagoalva as a wine producer is attested in 1888 at the Portuguese Industry Exhibition, where it was represented with 600 bottles of wine. The sparkling wine Lagoalva Pet Nat is born among the 45 hectares of vineyards at Quinta da Lagoalva, planted on the best terroirs of the Tagus and composed of national and international grape varieties with proven enological qualities. The vineyards benefit from a modern management system, as does the cellar, combining effective vinification with great versatility of enological options, based on a dialogue between the “new world” model and traditional European options. Vinification: After pressing, the clarified must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 °C. At the end of fermentation (≈1012 density), the still-turbid wine is bottled, completing fermentation in the bottle with the addition of yeast. After a 9‑month maturation in bottle in contact with lees it is released to market. Winemakers: Pedro Pinhão | Luís Paulino.
