How to best open and serve Spumante Metodo Classico Rosé Brut '530 Pinot Nero' 2017 - Tenuta Caseo
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening the Spumante Metodo Classico Rosé Brut '530 Pinot Nero' 2017 - Tenuta Caseo, position the bottle vertically for at least an hour.

2. Ideal serving temperature
The perfect temperature to enhance the aromas and the finesse of the bubbles is between 6°C and 8°C. Avoid cooling the sparkling wine too much in the freezer: it is preferable to immerse the bottle in a bucket with ice and water for about 20-25 minutes. A higher temperature can compromise the freshness and liveliness of the perlage.
3. Opening the bottle
Open the sparkling wine by following a few important tips:
- Remove the foil and loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb on the cork for safety.
- Tilt the bottle slightly to about 45° and grasp the cork with one hand, while gently twisting the bottom of the bottle with the other.
- Allow the cork to open slowly, producing only a soft sigh: this helps preserve the internal pressure and the perlage.
4. Inspection and first taste
Pour a small amount of wine into a tasting glass to check:
- The clarity and brilliant rosé color, which indicate good conservation.
- The fine and persistent effervescence.
- The aroma, which should express elegant notes of small red fruits and bread crust, typical of Metodo Classico.
