Spumante Brut "Sinestesi" is an interesting version of Spergola produced by one of the leading players on the Emilian wine scene. The Ariola winery operates an estate of about 70 hectares in the hilly area of the Parma Valley. The vineyards are cultivated at an altitude between 220 and 300 meters above sea level, in a very sunny and always well-ventilated area, with a favorable southwest-facing exposure. The soils consist mainly of clay and silt, which are very suitable for the area's classic grape varieties. After the harvest is complete, the grapes are pressed very gently and the flower must ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The base wine is then transferred to autoclaves for frothing and refermentation using the Martinotti or Charmat Method.

Brut "Sinestesi," produced by the Ariola winery, is a Spumante made from the Spergola grape variety in purity. It is a label that expresses an extraordinary expressive purity, clear and vibrant. In the glass, it is light straw yellow in color with light greenish reflections and a perlage of good finesse and persistence. The bouquet is characterized by a subtle and refined olfactory profile, with scents of orange blossom and hawthorn flowers, fragrant aromas of lime zest, lemon, grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, cartucciaro melon and hints of iodine. The sip is taut and savory, with delicate fruit, lengthening toward a finish marked by a pleasant citrus freshness.
