Christmas wines: our recommended wines
Unmistakably associated with celebration, synonymous with glamour and glamour and a password for light-hearted delight, the bubbles that make a wine sparkle to the point of becoming pure festivity are a unique chapter in the history of winemaking. Sparkling wines were born in France in the 17th century, presumably thanks to the Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon.who would have discovered the effervescence of carbon dioxide gas accidentally.
But, although the Catholic Church, with its long wine culture, played a leading role in this origin, it also denigrated it by pointing to this sparkling drink as being associated with the devil, at a time when pleasure and evil were synonymous, prohibiting its production in France and striving to keep its faithful away from it.
Then, despite this, would become the wine that accompanied the coronation of kings and the great celebratory banquets.The new technology would use thicker glass containers and stoppers that could withstand the pressure that swarmed restlessly and unpredictably inside the bottles.
Thus, the traditional method would reach the present day. Also known as the Champenoise method due to its origin in the cold Champagne region of France.Sparkling wines are made from a must obtained by gently pressing the grapes to be fermented. With the addition of yeast and sugars, a second fermentation takes place, which is carried out with the wine already bottled..
El gas carbónico hace su aparición en el interior de las botellas, que luego de un tiempo serán inclinadas boca abajo para que, de esta manera, los sedimentos decanten en el cuello conformando un tapón que se extraerá mediante lo que se conoce como degüelle.
The prolonged aging on lees, as a result of the second fermentation, is responsible for the body and delicate aging on the lees as a result of the second fermentation is responsible for the body and delicate depth of flavor of these wines, which have attractive secondary aromas such as toast, vanilla, brioche and coffee..
El espacio liberado tras la eliminación del tapón se completará con igual vino base utilizado y una cierta cantidad de azúcares de acuerdo a los diferentes estilos.
