Territory and wine style

This Brut Nature is born in the hills of the Esino valley, from vineyards located between 200 and 350 meters above sea level, with deep, clayey-sandy soils that are moderately calcareous. The grapes come from vineyards trained in the guyot system and are hand-harvested, with a careful selection of the best parcels based on the balance between sugar ripeness and acidity. The result is a Metodo Classico that interprets the territory with rigor and finesse, enhancing freshness, structure, and evolutionary potential.

On the palate, it appears dry, taut, and precise, with fine bubbles, good structure, and a long and convincing persistence. The acidic component adds liveliness, while the low presence of residual sugars enhances the purity of the sip.
