The harvest takes place in the third week of September, and the rosé vinification at controlled temperatures aims to preserve aromatic precision, expressive cleanliness, and balance. The result is a Aglianico Rosato Metodo Classico Brut that is dry, refined, and versatile, where the grape variety maintains its identity without sacrificing the finesse typical of classic sparkling wine production.

The aromatic profile recalls small red fruits, citrus nuances, and floral accents, with a more complex and fragrant dimension favored by the long contact with the lees.

The finish is dry, savory, and persistent, with an overall sensation of harmony that makes the wine pleasant to drink but also interesting to analyze.
