Frequently asked about Uberti Sublimis Brut Nature
What does Uberti Sublimis taste like?
Lemon zest, yellow apple, chalk, fresh almond and brioche on the nose; lemon curd, patisserie cream, saline minerality and fine green herbs on the palate. Full-bodied with high acidity and a long finish from 48 months on lees.
What does Brut Nature mean?
Brut Nature, also called Pas Dosé or Dosaggio Zero, signals no liqueur d'expedition added at disgorgement. Residual sugar under 3 grams per litre exposes the wine's natural acidity and chalky moraine-hill minerality.
When should I drink Sublimis?
Drink between 2 and 12 years from disgorgement. The chalky core and patisserie autolysis deepen between 4 and 8 years from disgorgement.
