Vintage details

Each vintage of Metodo Classico Brut Rosé 'Mattia Vezzola' - Costaripa tells the story of the unique Mediterranean climate of Garda, characterized by warm summers mitigated by the lake breeze. Early harvesting helps preserve the natural acidity of the grapes, a fundamental element for creating a fresh and balanced sparkling wine. Low yields per hectare ensure greater aromatic concentration and consistent quality over time.

Winemaking and aging

The wine is made from a blend of Chardonnay (predominant) and Pinot Noir, partly vinified as a rosé and partly as a red, coming from the most suitable vineyards of Garda and Franciacorta. After gentle pressing, about 35% of the must ferments in small oak barrels, contributing complexity and roundness. The aging on lees, typical of the traditional method, continues for several months, during which the sparkling wine develops its characteristic creamy notes and a fine, persistent perlage.
