What kind of wine is Spumante Brut Rosé Metodo Classico “Neblù” - Les Crêtes

The Spumante Brut Rosé Metodo Classico “Neblù” - Les Crêtes is an elegant Aostan interpretation of the classic rosé sparkling wine with bottle fermentation. It is born in the heart of the Aosta Valley, where the alpine microclimate and strong temperature excursions give the wine an unmistakable freshness and aromatic finesse. This sparkling wine is produced with the Premetta grape variety, a native black grape among the rarest and most representative of the region, capable of expressing delicate fruity and floral nuances. Its style is balanced and contemporary: dry, mineral, and naturally elegant.

Vintage Details

The Premetta grapes destined for Neblù come from mid-hill vineyards exposed to the south. The vintage, usually characterized by cool and airy summers, guarantees a slow and harmonious maturation of the grapes, preserving their acidity and delicate aroma. Harvesting is done by hand early to ensure the right balance between freshness and fruit maturity.

Vinification and Aging

Production strictly follows the Metodo Classico, the same used for Champagne: the secondary fermentation takes place directly in the bottle. After the secondary fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the yeasts for at least ten months, during which complexity and creaminess develop. Disgorgement is carried out shortly before commercialization to maintain all its aromatic and gustatory freshness.
