It is the result of the \u003cstrong\u003eancestral method\u003c\/strong\u003e, an ancient and natural technique in which fermentation finishes directly in the bottle, without disgorgement or added sugar. The result is an authentic sparkling wine, with an artisanal soul and a dry, mineral profile, perfect for those seeking a unique bubbly.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2019 vintage was characterized by a cool spring and a balanced summer, with good temperature variations that favored the slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The climatic conditions allowed for healthy and concentrated bunches, capable of best expressing the freshness and aromatic complexity typical of the region.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nFermentation begins in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, i.e., those naturally present on the grape skins. The \u003cstrong\u003eprise de mousse\u003c\/strong\u003e (the secondary fermentation that creates the bubbles) occurs in the bottle, thanks to residual yeasts and without filtration. This is followed by over 40 months of aging on the lees, which give the wine body, elegance, and an extraordinary personality. Disgorgement is not performed, to maintain the integral ancestral and authentic style.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents an intense golden yellow, slightly veiled, a sign of refermentation in the bottle.
