Umbria IGT Sparkling White Wine - Trebbiano Grechetto - Rex Banner

Selected by Hammm for its authentic, rural soul, winemakers revitalizing forgotten vineyards in the Umbrian hills. Each wine is born from respect for the land and a desire to express it honestly.

The wine

"Rex Banner" is a wine that plays by the rules. Produced in just 1,600 bottles, it is made from Trebbiano grapes (95%) and a touch of Grechetto (5%), grown on clayey, stony soils, with a beautiful southern exposure that ensures full ripeness and great aromatic expression.

Characteristics

The grapes are harvested in mid-August, allowing fermentation to begin spontaneously. The wine rests on the lees until bottling, when it is completed with a small addition of dried Grechetto, which triggers natural refermentation in the bottle. The result is a sparkling, savory wine with floral and citrus notes, a rustic touch, and easy drinking but never boring.

Recommended pairings

Perfect with cured meats , aged cheeses , focaccia or even just a nice chat.
