Vino Bianco Frizzante “Iunicorn” 2022 Valchyara
The Sparkling White Wine “Iunicorn” 2022 by Valchyara is born from a blend of native white grapes cultivated on small parcels located at 470 meters above sea level, in the pristine environment of the Valchyusella, within the morainic amphitheater of Ivrea, Piedmont. Valchyara is a young but ambitious winery, devoted to biodynamic farming and low-intervention winemaking, aiming to protect the biodiversity and authentic flavors of its unique terroir.
The winemaking process follows an artisanal and natural approach: gentle de-stemming by gravity, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and 72 hours of skin contact. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine continues with spontaneous malolactic fermentation and weekly batonnage in monolithic cement tanks for two months, adding complexity and texture. Refermentation occurs in bottle with frozen must, a traditional method that ensures freshness and natural effervescence. The wine is then aged for at least 6 months in bottle before release.
In the glass, “Iunicorn” 2022 shows a bright, lively perlage. The bouquet is expressive, with aromas of ripe pear and white flowers, enhanced by a creamy, buttery nuance and a finish of aromatic herbs. On the palate it is crisp and smooth at once, delivering a joyful, approachable sparkling wine with genuine personality.
Produced in small quantities, “Iunicorn” reflects the authentic and experimental spirit of Valchyara, bridging tradition and modernity. Best served at 8-10°C, it is a versatile companion for light starters, vegetarian dishes, or cheerful toasts among friends.
