Brut Sottosopra METODO CLASSICO V.S.Q. Produced from Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco grapes, this Sparkling Wine get its bubbles via the METODO CLASSICO (Champagne Method) with 18 months ageing on the lees before release. Ideal as an aperitif, it's best served chilled at 8°C in a flute. Grape variety : Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco. Vineyard : The wine grapes grow on the slopes of the Bergamo Hills where our vineyards are located.
Vinification :
the carefully selected hand harvested grapes are crushed,
de-stemmed and soft pressed soon after picking. The three
different varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco
are vinified separately: the fermentation of Pinot Nero and
Pinot Bianco occurs in temperature controlled stainless
steel tanks mainly to preserve their fruity qualities; a
small percentage of Chardonnay is aged in French oak
tonneaux where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and lees
stirring for about 6 months. The final blend is then
assembled and bottled to undergo the second natural
fermentation inside the champagne bottle and the ageing on
the lees. The entire process lasts 18 months. Finally the
“disgorging” and “dosage”, or the addition of “liqueur
d’expedition” to the disgorged bottle, and the final corking
is performed.
Alcohol : 12,5% Vol
