What kind of wine is Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Cuvée Nature - Nicola Gatta

The Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Cuvée Nature - Nicola Gatta is born on the hills of Gussago, on the eastern side of Franciacorta, an area dedicated to the production of high-quality sparkling wines. This sparkling wine is the result of a Classic Method (the same used for Champagnes), which involves refermentation in the bottle and long contact with the yeasts.

No sugar dosage is added after disgorgement, to preserve the integrity of the fruit and the mineral purity of the origin area.
