METODO CLASSICO
WHY THE METODO CLASSICO?
​
We are so convinced of the Alta Langa area that we are sure it will soon become recognized as one of the best places in the world to produce Metodo Classico bubbles.
​
The results excite us and as in all the great wine-growing areas of the world, here too the wines require time to best express their qualities, which is why we refine the wine to at least 4 years before proposing it.
A patient wait that pays!
We work differently: instead of producing wine from a single vintage, we have fun every year composing the blend using different vintages and our reserve wine aged in barrique.
The effect is unique: complex aromas of ripe fruit, great silkiness and extraordinary drinkability.
Seeing is believing!
WE ARE IN ONE OF THE HIGHEST MUNICIPALITIES OF THE ALTA LANGA: CISSONE, AT 650M ALTITUDE
​
The height and mountain climate allow you to reach an extraordinary result: at the time of harvest (end of August - September) the grapes reach a degree of maturity combined with an exceptional freshness that would be impossible to obtain at lower altitudes.
The result? Fresh wine and at the same time soft, creamy, very pleasant!
​
We're in no hurry: we let our Metodo Classico refine for at least 40 months on the yeasts at a controlled temperature. Only at the moment that we consider optimal, we put it on the market. We manage to get it so a rich straw yellow color, a fine perlage, complex aromas of aromatic herbs and ripe fruit, a long persistence on notes of sweet almond.
THE METODO CLASSICO ITALIAN SPARKLING WINE IN A BRIEF SUMMARY
Our way
​
- Harvest of the grapes and first fermentation in steel tanks and barriques;
- Bottling with the addition of sugar and yeasts so that the second fermentation will take palce in the bottle and therefore the production of bubbles;
- Long wait and aging of the wine on the yeasts for at least 40 months at a controlled temperature. The right time is essential to achieve complexity and delicacy;
- Disgorgement (removal of yeasts and crown cap) and application of the mushroom cap
- Wait another 6 months and launch on the market
​
​
Our story starts from the aim to express in the more unique and personal way the Alta Langa area in Piedmont, just 20 minutes from Barolo, with Metodo Classico italian sparkling wines.
​
Alta Langa is an area with great potential and its history is only just beginning.
The Langhe region is known throughout the world for Barolo and Barbaresco, but following the hills and rising in altitude you will find the ideal climatic conditions for the production of Metodo Classico sparkling wines, with the same extraordinary terroir and geological conformation of Langhe.
