It is a sparkling wine produced with the traditional \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning with secondary fermentation in the bottle, the same process used for Champagne and Franciacorta. The result is a refined sparkling wine with an authentic character and a strong territorial personality, combining freshness and aromatic complexity in perfect balance.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2022 vintage in Irpinia was balanced, with a mild spring and a dry but not excessively hot summer. The harvest occurred slightly earlier to preserve the natural acidity and fragrance of Fiano. This choice allowed for a particularly fine must, ideal for producing elegant and vibrant sparkling wines.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e involves a second fermentation in the bottle, where the wine remains in contact with the lees for several months. In the case of \u003cem\u003eBrut Contadino\u003c\/em\u003e, Ciro Picariello chooses to leave the bottles “undisgorged”: this means that the lees remain inside the bottle, allowing the taster to decide whether to disgorge (i.e., remove the yeast residue) or enjoy the wine as it is, “sur lie,” richer and deeper in aromas and structure.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nIn the glass, the \u003cstrong\u003eSpumante Metodo Classico 'Brut Contadino' 2022 - Ciro Picariello\u003c\/strong\u003e sincerely reveals its origin and the artisanal work that characterizes it.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nBright straw yellow, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage that reveals the quality of the method and the careful management of the prise de mousse.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it offers fresh fragrances of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, enriched by notes of bread crust and yeast, typical of Metodo Classico. The evolutionary component is subtle and refined, in perfect balance with its expressive youth.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003efresh, taut, and mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a dry finish that invites another sip.
