Fujente
SPARKLING WINES
Description
From the local dialect “he who runs”, fujente is the image of our picturesque patronal feast; a dense array of fujenti invades the city on the third Sunday of May, to follow the pyrotechnic batteries in honor of our Patroness step by step.
Fujente is a passionate, true man, madly rooted in our territory; just like this sparkling wine made from white Bombino grapes, a vine of our land.
After the early harvest and vinification, the second fermentation is followed by an aging in autoclave of about 3 months. The scent of cedar and white fruit are accompanied by an elegant, lively bubble, which enhances the freshness and pleasantness of this product.
Combinations
Born as an aperitif sparkling wine, it is excellent with fish-based dishes and first courses with fresh seasonal vegetables; exceptional also in combination with pizza, especially with our typical pizza stuffed with spring onion.
