Asprinio Sparkling Brut Charmat Method

Asprinio Spumante Brut Metodo Charmat: fresh and savory Campanian sparkling wine

Asprinio Spumante Brut Metodo Charmat by Calatia - Società Agricola Martino is an Italian sparkling wine that characterfully interprets one of the most iconic grape varieties of Campania. Made from asprinio grapes sourced from the historic trellised vineyards of the Cesa area, this wine combines immediacy, personality, and a strong territorial imprint, offering an authentic and pleasantly modern interpretation of the denomination.

Territory and wine style

The Asprinio grape is deeply linked to the area of Aversa and the Agro Aversano, an agricultural context that preserves its tradition and most recognizable profile. The trellises, with vines trained high, tell of a unique landscape and a viticulture strongly rooted in local history. In this sparkling Brut version made with Metodo Charmat, the wine focuses on freshness, fragrance, and drinkability, maintaining a good balance between aromatic intensity and gustatory momentum.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a bright straw-yellow color, animated by fine and lively bubbles. The aromatic profile recalls citrus fruits, grated apple, and fresh almond, with a clear and clean register. On the palate, it shows structure, savoriness, and appreciable persistence, supported by an acidic backbone that makes the sip tense, dynamic, and very inviting. The style is dry, fresh, and immediate, with a pleasant energy that enhances the typical personality of the asprinio grape.

Recommended pairings

Asprinio Spumante Brut Metodo Charmat is ideal as an aperitif, but it also shines at the table with fried fish, seafood crudo, seafood appetizers, fresh cheeses, and Mediterranean dishes. Its savoriness also makes it suitable for pizza, battered vegetables, and delicate first courses based on fish or vegetables, where the freshness helps cleanse the palate without overpowering the flavors.

Serving temperature

Serve Asprinio Spumante Brut Metodo Charmat at a temperature of 6-8 °C, to enhance its fragrance, tension, and liveliness of the perlage. It does not require decantation; a brief stop in the ice bucket or refrigerator before serving is sufficient to best appreciate its fresh and immediate imprint.
