Chakra BluIGT Valle dell'Itria
Sparkling white wine refermented in the bottle, with a thin and continuous perlage. It is done as it once was, following the techniques inherited from family activity. The colour is pale straw yellow and veiled, as is normal in sparkling wines made as it once was, after all the lack of disgorgement is its strength, its beauty and its good.
The creaminess of the bubbles makes it even more evident a sapid vein, which gives character to the wine and makes the terroir of belonging feel.

AGING
At the end of fermentation, a process that lasts about fifty days, and at the end of the subsequent frothing, the wines remain sur-lie in the bottle.
TERROIR
The soil at the base of the canal is red, clayey-calcareous, rich in skeleton and, not far from the vineyards, the calcareous rock emerges; while the roots of plants creep into the karstic cracks.
