Vinification
This sparkling wine was produced using the 'Metodo Classico' process. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place partially in stainless steel and partially in barrique. After triage, it was aged on its lees for a minimum of 36 months before disgorgement and a further four months after. The small proportion of Chardonnay in the blend becomes more evident after lees ageing and adds a rounder, fuller character to the wine.
