What kind of wine is Spumante Brut Millesimato 'Poltrona Frau X DUBL' 2016 - DUBL (leather label)
The Spumante Brut Millesimato 'Poltrona Frau X DUBL' 2016 - DUBL (leather label) is an elegant expression of Campanian Metodo Classico, born from the collaboration between DUBL and the renowned design brand Poltrona Frau. Produced with Greco di Tufo grapes from vineyards in the hills of Tufo, Santa Paolina, and Montefusco, this sparkling wine encapsulates the volcanic and mineral soul of Irpinia, combined with the refinement of long aging on the lees. Its style is modern, linear, and refined, capable of combining freshness and aromatic complexity in a balanced and persistent sip.
Vintage Details
The 2016 vintage was characterized by very balanced climatic conditions, with moderate temperatures and good diurnal temperature variation. The Greco grapes reached optimal ripeness, developing an intense yet elegant aromatic profile. The manual and careful harvest allowed only the best bunches to be selected, ensuring a wine of great purity and aromatic precision.
Winemaking and aging
The Metodo Classico — the same used for Champagne — involves a second fermentation in the bottle. After the secondary fermentation, the sparkling wine ages for approximately 90 months on its lees, an extremely long period that enriches the wine's structure and complexity. During this time, the bubbles refine, becoming silky and persistent, while the fruity notes evolve into more complex hints of bread crust and fine pastry. Disgorgement takes place shortly before release, maintaining a lively and vibrant freshness.

Storage and aging: how to store Spumante Brut Millesimato 'Poltrona Frau X DUBL' 2016 - DUBL (leather label)
To preserve its characteristics, this sparkling wine should be stored in a cool, dark place with a constant temperature, ideally around 12°C. It is advisable to store it horizontally to keep the cork moist and prevent premature oxidation.
Thanks to its long aging on the lees, it can withstand a few more years in the cellar, but it is at its best when consumed within 2-3 years from the disgorgement date. During this period, it expresses the maximum aromatic vibrancy and gustatory freshness for which it was intended.

How to Best Open and Serve Spumante Brut Millesimato 'Poltrona Frau X DUBL' 2016 - DUBL (leather label)
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening the Spumante Brut Millesimato 'Poltrona Frau X DUBL' 2016 - DUBL (leather label), ensure that the bottle has been stored horizontally, away from direct light and heat sources. When you decide to serve it, gently place it in a vertical position for at least a couple of hours: this allows natural sediments to settle at the bottom, making the wine clearer and ready for opening.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The optimal temperature to best enjoy this Campanian sparkling wine is between 6°C and 8°C. Gradual chilling in the refrigerator for about 3 hours is ideal. Avoid abrupt temperature changes or immersion in pure ice, which could alter the refined aromas of this Millesimato 2016.
3. Opening the Bottle
Proceed calmly and confidently:
- Carefully remove the protective foil and loosen the wire cage, keeping your thumb firmly on the cork.
- Tilt the bottle to about 45° to reduce internal pressure.
- Hold the cork steady and slowly rotate the bottle (not the cork) until you hear the characteristic sigh, avoiding the “pop” that disperses the aromas.
4. Inspection and First Tasting
Visually check that the sparkling wine is clear and has fine, persistent bubbles. Pour a small amount into the glass and proceed with a first tasting to check for any alterations. The Spumante Brut Millesimato 'Poltrona Frau X DUBL' 2016 - DUBL (leather label) should express elegant, fresh notes and a balanced structure.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
Although rarely decanted, a vintage sparkling wine like this can benefit from brief oxygenation. After opening, let it rest in the glass for a few minutes so that its complex aromas of ripe fruit and fine yeasts can fully unfold. Do not use carafes: the dispersion of carbon dioxide would compromise the liveliness of the perlage.
6. Serving
Use flutes or wide sparkling wine glasses that enhance the texture and allow for better perception of the aromas. Pour slowly, tilting the glass to preserve the foam and maintain the fineness of the bubbles. Serve in moderate portions to keep the wine always fresh and at the right degree of effervescence.
7. Storage After Opening
If not consumed completely, reseal the bottle with an airtight sparkling wine stopper and store it in the refrigerator. Under these conditions, the Spumante Brut Millesimato 'Poltrona Frau X DUBL' 2016 - DUBL (leather label) will retain much of its vibrancy for 24-48 hours. Avoid leaving it at room temperature or uncorked, so as not to lose aromas and pressure.
