It is produced using the \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning secondary fermentation in the bottle – the same technique used for Champagne and Franciacorta – which results in fine, persistent bubbles.

The style of this sparkling wine is fresh, balanced, and refined, ideal for those seeking elegance and authenticity in their glass.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nEach vintage of this \u003cstrong\u003eSpumante Metodo Classico Brut - Francesco Bellei\u003c\/strong\u003e reflects the climatic conditions of the harvest. The grapes are hand-picked early to preserve freshness and acidity. Mild summers and typical temperature fluctuations in the area promote slow and regular maturation, fundamental for giving the wine an elegant and harmonious profile.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe winemaking faithfully follows the \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e. After the first fermentation, the wine rests in the bottle where natural re-fermentation takes place. This is followed by a long aging on the lees for about 18 months, a period that enriches the bouquet and gives the palate creaminess and complexity. Finally, disgorgement (the removal of exhausted yeasts) precedes a brief rest in the cellar before release, ensuring balance and finesse.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpumante Metodo Classico Brut - Francesco Bellei\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wine of great sensory harmony, capable of combining freshness, structure, and savoriness in a natural and pleasant way.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIt presents a bright straw yellow color, traversed by a fine and continuous perlage that highlights the quality of the mousse and the care taken during production.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe nose opens with aromas of white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruit, and delicate notes of bread crust, typical of aging on the lees.
