Linnaea works outside Canelli, the historic centre of the appellation, from two old parcels planted roughly 90 and 45 years ago in a cool site that holds acidity through the warmest summers. The grapes are hand-harvested early to keep the aromatics bright and the acid firm. Fermentation is run cold and arrested at 5% alcohol, so the sweetness is unfermented grape sugar rather than anything added. The lees are stirred to build mouthfeel and texture, which is unusual for the style, and the wine is held at 2.1 atmospheres of pressure, around half that of a Champagne, giving a soft foaming sparkle rather than a hard bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink it young and cold, at about 8°C. It suits fresh stone fruit, almond biscuits and blue cheese, and works equally as an aperitif or at the end of a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
