What kind of wine is Spumante 'Puro' Bianco 2020 - Movia

The Spumante “Puro” Bianco 2020 - Movia is one of the most representative labels of Slovenian artisan tradition, a true symbol of Movia winery’s natural philosophy. It is a Metodo Classico (also known as traditional method) wine, meaning it is produced with a second fermentation in the bottle, but with a unique twist: no added sugars or industrial yeasts. It originates in the Slovenian Collio, a hilly area on the border with Italy, known for its marl soils rich in minerals that give the wines great freshness and sapidity. The style is that of a natural, authentic sparkling wine without corrective interventions: a "living" wine, capable of evolving in the glass and spontaneously expressing its territory.

Vintage Details

The 2020 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate, with warm but ventilated summers and good temperature variations between day and night. These conditions favored a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, which maintained splendid acidity and an intense aromatic profile. Harvesting, as is Movia's tradition, was done by hand during the late harvest, selecting only perfectly ripe bunches.

Winemaking and Aging

The Spumante “Puro” Bianco 2020 - Movia is born from spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, preceded by a brief skin maceration (about 24 hours) to give body and complexity. The must is then transferred to barriques, where it matures for about four years without the addition of sulfites or chemical additives. The secondary fermentation in the bottle occurs naturally: instead of the classic liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and yeasts), Movia uses fresh must with its own yeasts, making each bottle unique. This sparkling wine is finally marketed "sur lie", meaning with the yeasts still present, without disgorgement: the manual removal of the lees occurs only at the moment of tasting, with the traditional dégorgement à la volée.

Tasting Notes

The "Puro" Bianco 2020 is a wine with a vibrant personality, always consistent with the natural identity of the Movia winery.

Palate

On the palate, it is fresh, savory, and full of energy. The lively acidity and the creaminess of the bubbles perfectly balance the wine's structure. The finish leaves a sensation of cleanliness and harmony, with a persistent mineral echo.
