What kind of wine is Spumante Brut Metodo Classico - Monsupello?

Spumante Brut Metodo Classico - Monsupello represents one of the flagship products of Oltrepò Pavese, a hilly area of Lombardy particularly suited to the production of sparkling wines of great balance and finesse. It is made with the Traditional Method (Metodo Classico), the same method used for Champagnes, which involves a second fermentation directly in the bottle, thus ensuring fine, persistent bubbles and superior aromatic complexity. This Brut expresses an elegant and modern style, easily appreciated even by those approaching the world of quality sparkling wines for the first time.

Vintage details

Each vintage of Spumante Brut Metodo Classico - Monsupello is made from ripe grapes harvested at different times, depending on the climatic trend. The most recent vintages are characterized by sunny days and cool nights, which favored an excellent aromatic concentration and a perfect balance between acidity and sugars. This allows the wine to retain all its vibrancy and freshness.

Winemaking and aging

The cuvée is mainly composed of Pinot Noir, with a small portion of Chardonnay: the latter is vinified in steel and partly in wood to impart greater structure and complexity. After fermentation, the base wine rests on its lees in the bottle for at least 30 months, a phase in which it develops the delicate aromas of bread crust and toasted notes typical of the Traditional Method. Disgorgement (the removal of yeast residue) only takes place when the wine has reached its full maturation.

Tasting Notes

Color

In the glass, it presents a brilliant straw yellow color, traversed by a fine and continuous perlage, a sign of impeccable refermentation and a long rest on the lees.

Nose

On the nose, it reveals elegant aromas of fresh apple, citrus, and white flowers, to which delicate hints of yeast and bread crust are added. Slight nuances of dried fruit and almond are then perceived, enriching the bouquet without weighing it down.

Palate

On the palate, it is fresh, dry, and harmonious. The well-balanced acidity provides tension and vibrancy, while the creamy bubbles accompany a clean and persistent finish. Overall, it is a highly drinkable sparkling wine, ideal for those seeking elegance and intensity without excess.
