Ischia White Sparkling Traditional Classic Method Extra Brut DOC Tommasone

Ischia Bianco Spumante Metodo Classico Tradizionale Extra Brut DOC Tommasone

Ischia Bianco Spumante Metodo Classico Tradizionale Extra Brut DOC Tommasone is a sparkling wine of great personality, an authentic expression of the Island of Ischia and its native white grape varieties. It is made from Biancolella and Forastera, a balanced blend that combines finesse, freshness, and territorial character, resulting in an elegant, dry, and very gastronomic sparkling wine.

Territory and wine style

The production is linked to the vineyards of Forio, in the Chiena and Pennanova area, about 250 meters above sea level. Here, the grapes are hand-picked and processed with great care to maintain the quality of the fruit. The wine's style reflects the island's vocation for savory and crisp whites, but interprets the territory with the complexity typical of Metodo Classico. The long aging on the lees contributes to defining a refined profile, while the disgorgement without the addition of sugars enhances the taste tension and the sensation of essentiality.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents itself with a very fine and elegant perlage, a sign of careful processing and prolonged maturation. The bouquet is broad and inviting, with notes of warm bread crust, dried apricots, and wild herbs, enriched by floral nuances and a delicate almond touch. On the palate, it is complex, taut, and harmonious, with a pleasant freshness, a well-defined structure, and a long, savory finish. The dry closure makes it particularly precise and refined.

Recommended pairings

This Ischia DOC sparkling wine is perfect as an aperitif, but it also shines with seafood, oysters, shellfish, and prawn carpaccio. Its freshness and fine bubbles pair well with fish appetizers, delicate tartares, and clean-tasting seafood preparations. It is a versatile wine, capable of enhancing the raw material without overshadowing it, making each tasting more elegant and smooth.

Serving temperature

It should be served at 8°C, preferably in a range between 6 and 8°C to enhance its freshness and aromatic precision. It does not require long oxygenation; simply uncorking the bottle shortly before serving is sufficient to best appreciate its finesse and fragrance.
