Frizzante Bianco Ancestrale 'Ostara' Andrea Tirelli

“Ostara” is a semi-sparkling white wine with a sleek and fresh profile made by Andrea Tirelli, a young winemaker from the Colli Tortonesi. Since founding the company in 2003, Andrea has embraced environmental sustainability principles, with great attention to the land and nature. The estate, which spans just over 4 hectares in the municipalities of Costa Vescovato and Montale Celli, was inherited from his uncle Domenico with the intent of continuing the ancient family tradition. The territory, particularly suited to viticulture due to the influence of the Ligurian Sea winds that gently blow in this small strip of land nestled between the Apennines and the Alps, has proven ideal for producing quality wines. Tirelli's bottles represent the Tortona area in a straightforward and genuine manner.

The semi-sparkling wine “Ostara” is made from a blend of local white grapes (Cortese and Timorasso). The harvest is done manually around mid-September. An initial phase of "skin maceration is followed by a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation led by indigenous yeasts. The refermentation occurs in the bottle without disgorgement, as per the Ancestral method.

The ancestral sparkling wine "Ostara" takes on a veiled golden yellow color in the glass and is filled with lively and persistent bubbles. On the nose, it is very fresh and connected to the aromas of grape and must. A first fruity hint of citrus and green apple then gives way to more "yeasty" sensations with notes of sweet spices and dried fruit. On the palate, it has a pleasant progression, driven by a clear and zesty freshness that makes the sip refreshing and convivial. A unique and surprising refermented wine!
