Vinification and aging

This sparkling wine is made from black grapes, vinified as a rosé using the saignée method: a technique that involves a brief maceration of the must with the skins to extract the desired color, giving the wine delicate pink hues and a light structure. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, according to the Metodo Classico, with a long aging on the lees of about 60 months. This maturation period gives the wine aromatic complexity, fine perlage, and notes of bread crust that blend with the fruity aromas typical of the grape variety.
