Since 1997 Cantina Danese Srl has been fully owned by Mario Danese (father) and Luca Danese (Mario’s son) who is the also the CEO of the company.
Lessini Durello DOC Spumante Brut
Durella
Durello is the name of the wine and it derives from the name Durella, that is the name of the grape. Durella in English means “tough”, “strong”, because this local grape has a very high natural level of acidity. For this reason almost 90% of this grape is used to produce a sparkling version, just to make the acidity softer. Durella grape has a very particular and distinctive bouquet (especially grapefruit, citron, tangerines) and typical mineral hints because of the volcanic origin of the soil.
Colour is pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. The mousse is fine and persistent, the aromas of green apple and white spring blossom. The palate is vibrant and fresh with notes of citrus and a savoury finish.
