Vintage details

The 2022 harvest was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with sunny days and cool nights that favored perfect aromatic maturation of the grapes. The optimal conditions allowed for an Aglianico with an excellent balance between acidity and structure, fundamental elements for a fresh and persistent sparkling wine.

Winemaking and aging

The base wine is made from 100% Aglianico grapes, vinified in stainless steel to preserve its brightness and aromatic freshness. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, according to the Metodo Classico, followed by at least 24 months of aging on the lees. This maturation period gives the wine olfactory complexity, creaminess on the palate, and a fine, persistent effervescence. Disgorgement (the removal of spent yeasts before final closure) occurs shortly before commercialization, to maintain its freshness intact.
