Pietrafumante Caprettone Classic Method Sparkling Wine

Classic Method Sparkling Wine of Vesuvius, elegant and territorial

Pietrafumante Caprettone Classic Method Sparkling Wine by Casa Setaro Vinicola is an Italian sparkling wine that combines territorial identity, aromatic finesse, and a long aging on the lees. Made from pure Caprettone grapes, it precisely expresses the character of the Vesuvius National Park, offering a bold yet graceful style, ideal for those seeking a Classic Method with an authentic and gastronomic profile.

Territory and style of the wine

The grapes come from the Alto Tirone area, 350 meters above sea level, in a volcanic context that helps define the wine's profile. The choice of Caprettone, a Campanian grape variety deeply linked to this area, enhances a fresh, vertical, and recognizable version of the Classic Method. The production involves manual selection of the grapes, fermentation at controlled temperatures, and a 30-month bottle aging on the lees, elements that enrich complexity and finesse without losing drinkability.

The finish is clean and persistent, with a pleasant tension that invites a second taste.
