This method involves a second fermentation in the bottle, which gives the wine a fine, persistent mousse and a complex structure. The Murgo winery cultivates its vineyards on the slopes of Etna, across the San Michele (Santa Venerina), Gelso Bianco (Catania), and La Francescana (Aprilia) estates, totaling approximately 30 hectares, in areas where the climate and volcanic composition of the soil give the wines an unmistakable freshness and a distinct minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with sunny summers but no extremes, and a dry autumn—ideal conditions for obtaining healthy grapes with an excellent balance between acidity and sugars. The harvest was carried out manually at the end of August, to preserve the aromatic fragrance and natural freshness of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinification follows the strict \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e: after the first fermentation in steel tanks, the base wine is bottled with selected yeasts for secondary fermentation in the bottle. Aging on the lees lasts about 24 months, during which the wine acquires notes of toasted bread and aromatic complexity. This is followed by disgorgement, which is the removal of the yeast deposit, and the final dosage in the \u003cstrong\u003eBrut\u003c\/strong\u003e version, to maintain a fresh, dry, and lively profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSpumante Metodo Classico Brut 2022 - Murgo\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out for its harmony of freshness, elegance, and aromatic depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a brilliant straw yellow with golden reflections.
