ArteNOM Seleccion 1123 Blanco Tequila 750ml

This single vineyard cru comes from Colbertaldo di Vidor in the Valdobbiadene DOCG region. First produced in 1933, it has become the estate's flagship Prosecco. Recognized by Gambero Rosso as one of Italy's top Prosecco wines year after year. The vineyard faces southwest and the oldest vines are 100 years old. The winemaking process involves light pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine spends 3 months on lees in stainless steel. The secondary fermentation occurs in autoclaves initiated in batches up to 7 times throughout the year to preserve freshness. 

This mezcal is stark and abrupt, spicy and savory. The nose is an array of fruit ranging from fresh peaches to grilled pineapples. It tastes of savory smoke, ash, baking spices, butterscotch and a bit of that grilled fruit that seduced us on the nose.
