Extra Brut
The blending of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties results in our Extra Brut, a sparkling wine with an excellent consistency and an appealing acidity well balanced with the structure. It is the perfect choice for your aperitifs, but it can be savoured during the whole meal and delightfully combined with cold cuts, especially with mortadella.

Production area
Alta Val Tidone with vineyards located on a rolling hill facing the west and south-west.
Vine varieties
70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from clonal material selected in Burgundy and Champagne. The vine training systems are the simple Guyot and the spurred cordon with an average of about 5000 stocks per hectare.
Grape harvest
By hand in wooden boxes with manual selection of the bunches before the pressing. It starts between the last week of August and the first week of September.
Yield
50-60 hl of wine per hectare.
Winimaking
Separated vinification of the two varieties with soft pressing of whole grapes and fermentation in wooden barrels for Chardonnay, in steel tanks for Pinot Noir.
Cuvée
Obtained from a blend of base wines (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay).
Second fermentation
It is carried out with the classic method in the estate cellars. The aging on the lees lasts for at least 30/42 months before disgorgement.
Colour
Pale straw yellow.
Perlage
Fine, continuous and persistent.
Aroma
Particularly elegant and complex, rich in exotic and ripe fruit scents, notes of pineapple and Williams pear, a slight smell of quince and scents of flowers: from linden to chamomile, lightly toasted hazelnut with sweet notes of acacia honey and refined notes of toasted panettone crust.
Flavour
Excellent consistency and creaminess, soft and sapid taste, good balance between acidity and wine structure, long and persistent flavour with notes of white fruit, slightly vegetal, balsamic, with an aftertaste of nougat with hazelnuts.
It is the right choice for your aperitifs, but can also be savoured during the whole meal and delightfully combined with cold cuts (especially with mortadella), white meat, beef carpaccio, seawater fish, shellfish and caviar.

The Brut Rosé sparkling wine originates from varieties of Pinot Noir entirely selected in France. Ideal for the aperitif, Brut Rosé can pleasantly accompany the whole meal.
