Amaluna Organic Sparkling Wine, DO Valle de Casablanca

The first organic fizz from Chile! The usual fizz suspects Chardonnay and Pinot Noir once again work in perfect harmony to produce a sparkling wine with the perfect balance of easy drinking freshness and yeasty toastiness. The name “Amaluna” is a fusion of the words ama, which refers to “mother” in many languages, and luna, which means “moon,” a symbol of femininity that evokes both the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet.

The usual fizz suspects Chardonnay and Pinot Noir once again work in perfect harmony to produce a sparkling wine with an incredibly fine bead – Emiliana refer to this as ‘rosario’ which refers to roasry beads. Something of Emiliana’s warm climate vineyards comes through in a fresh pineapple nose over a biscuity palate with a touch of fresh apricot all freshened by that natural acidity inherent in the bubbles.

This wine pairs well with dishes with mild cream sauces, raw and cooked shellfish, fresh summer salads, sushi, trout, and desserts made with red fruits and chocolate.
