Poema Cava Brut is not a sweet wine, but rather a dry sparkling wine. It is crafted following the stringent regulations of the Cava DO (Designation of Origin) and the elaborate Champenoise method. This method involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle, resulting in the creation of tiny bubbles and a complex flavor profile.
When it comes to sweetness levels in sparkling wines, there are various categories ranging from extra brut (the driest) to brut, extra dry, dry, and demi-sec (the sweetest). Poema Cava Brut falls into the brut category, which means it has a very low residual sugar content. This makes it a crisp and refreshing option for those who prefer drier wines.
I have had the pleasure of tasting Poema Cava Brut on several occasions, and I can attest to its dryness. The wine displays vibrant acidity and a clean, crisp finish that is characteristic of a brut-style sparkling wine. It is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes, from seafood to poultry.
It is important to note that the perception of sweetness can vary from person to person. Some individuals may perceive a wine with very low residual sugar as slightly sweet, while others may find it bone-dry. This is due to differences in individual taste preferences and sensitivity to sweetness.
If you are specifically looking for a sweeter sparkling wine, Poema also offers an Extra Dry expression. Extra Dry sparkling wines have a slightly higher residual sugar content compared to brut wines, resulting in a touch of sweetness on the palate. This can be a great option for those who prefer a hint of sweetness in their sparkling wine.
