Vintage details

Each vintage of the Metodo Classico Rosé Brut "Cuvée dei Frati" reflects the climatic conditions of the Garda region. Mild temperatures and constant ventilation promote healthy grapes and regular ripening. The grapes, harvested slightly earlier than usual, retain a marked natural acidity and lively aromas, key elements for obtaining fresh and persistent bubbles. The yield per hectare is deliberately kept low to prioritize quality and aromatic balance.

Vinification and aging

The Rosé "Cuvée dei Frati" is produced with a blend of Groppello, Marzemino, Sangiovese, and Barbera, typical grape varieties of the Garda area. The vinification takes place according to the Metodo Classico, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle, the same method used for Champagnes. The delicate pink color is obtained through a very short maceration of the skins in contact with the must, to extract aromas and color nuances without weighing down the structure. This is followed by aging on the lees for about 24 months, which gives complexity and a fine, creamy bubble, typical of the best Metodo Classico sparkling wines.
