Vintage details

The 2021 vintage was characterized by a balanced season, with a warm but well-ventilated summer. The grapes reached healthy and complete ripeness, allowing for a raw material rich in aromas and with good natural acidity, a key element for the production of elegant and long-lived sparkling wines.

Winemaking and aging

The winemaking strictly follows the Metodo Classico: after the first fermentation, the base wine is bottled with natural yeasts and sugars for the secondary fermentation. The re-fermentation in the bottle occurs slowly, followed by a period of "on the lees" of about 18 months. During this period, the wine develops aromatic complexity and a gustatory finesse that only time and patience can provide. After disgorgement (the removal of sediments), the sparkling wine rests for a few more weeks before being released to the market.
