High Coast Classic Method Brut Tenuta San Francesco

Alta Costa Metodo Classico Brut Tenuta San Francesco

Alta Costa Metodo Classico Brut Tenuta San Francesco is an elegant and territorial sparkling wine, an authentic expression of Tramonti and the careful work of the Tenuta San Francesco winery. It is made from native grape varieties, biancazita and biancatenera, and interprets with finesse the character of the Campanian coast through a Classic Method with a fresh, savory, and pleasantly gastronomic profile.

Territory and wine style

The production takes place in Tramonti, in a hilly context with vineyards located between 300 and 600 meters above sea level, on limestone-dolomitic soils and with a southeast exposure. The cool climate and strong temperature fluctuations favor a slow and precise ripening of the grapes, preserving freshness and aromatic tension. The harvest, which takes place between late September and early October, is consistent with a style designed to enhance balance, drinkability, and territorial identity. The refermentation in the bottle and the aging on the lees for about 42 months contribute to defining complexity, finesse, and a more mature profile compared to a sparkling wine for immediate consumption.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant straw yellow color, crossed by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers a fragrant bouquet with citrus and floral hints, delicate fruity notes, and well-recognizable mineral nuances, enriched by sensations of bread crust due to aging on the lees. On the palate, it is savory, vertical, and refreshing, with an acidic vein that supports the sip and extends its progression. The finish is clean, long, and consistent with a dry, dynamic, and refined style.

Recommended pairings

Alta Costa Metodo Classico Brut Tenuta San Francesco pairs naturally with seafood appetizers, both raw and cooked fish, light fried dishes, tartare, seafood salads, and shellfish.
