Floribunda - Sparkling Apfel Cider 2023 (750 mL)
Floribunda - Sparkling Apfel Cider 2023 (750 mL)
The latest vintage of Floribunda's cider. A rare and limited treat from Italy. Floribunda is a small family run business from Salorno, the southern most village in the Italian province of South Tyrol. Franz Egger and his daugther, Magdelena, have been making cider since the early 2000s with fruit grown on their own orchards that were originally planted in the 1980s. Each of their ciders is made using organic ingredients, and with no added sulfites.Â
This is the 2023 vintage (year the fruit was harvested) of their Apfel Cider. Made from organic Gold Rush and Topaz apples grown on the Völser-Egger Family Farm. The family has changed the process slightly for this year's vintage - 30% of the blend is Topaz apples fermented in oak, 20% Topaz apples fermented in stainless steel, and the reaming 50% of the juice blend is Gold Rush apples fermented in stainless stell. Blended post-fermentation, with a secondary fermentation in bottle.Â
It's semi-dry, with medium-minus tannins, and medium-plus acidity. Actively sparkling with soft foamy bubbles. Aromatics of fresh grass, white flowers, and fresh apples. Flavor characteristics of fresh apples, apple skins, lemon zest, a touch of honey, candied peaches, and a lovely note of pastry dough fro the yeast.Â
