Perlage is one of the defining characteristics of a fine sparkling wine. It describes the continuous stream of delicate bubbles rising slowly through the glass, creating an elegant and long-lasting mousse.

A fine and consistent perlage is the result of careful fermentation and extended ageing. The smaller, more numerous and more persistent the bubbles, the greater the sense of balance, softness and elegance in the glass.

Perlage is far more than an aesthetic detail. The bubbles carry the wine’s aromas towards the nose, enhance its freshness and contribute to the lively yet refined sensation that makes every sip so enjoyable.

For ORTE, perlage is the visible expression of the care devoted to every bottle of Spumante Sanchirico. It is the result of a patient process in which time, experience and carefully selected ingredients come together to create a sparkling wine that reflects the elegance of Puglia.

Watching the dance of the bubbles is a reminder that true quality is born from patience. It is an invitation to slow down, celebrate and share the authentic pleasure of a great Italian sparkling wine.
