São Domingos Elpídio Superior Bruto White
This Sparkling wine remains in the basement for 48 long months at a constant temperature of 12ºC.

To obtain the structure and preservation potential indispensable to this exceptional Superior Sparkling Wine, only the juices of the whole grape core are used after separation of the first and last extraction. The grapes are left to ferment for the first time, turning the juice into wine base.
