About this wine

Metodo Classico Brut VSQ is a traditional-method sparkling wine made entirely from Pinot Noir. Careful grape selection, rigorous vinification protocols and extended contact with the lees give it a fresh, balanced style.

Grapes

100% Pinot Noir. The vines are Guyot trained at a density of 6,000–9,000 plants per hectare, with yields of 50–60 quintals per hectare (5–6 metric tonnes per hectare). Harvest takes place during the final ten days of August.

Vinification

The wine is produced by the traditional method from carefully selected grapes.

Ageing

At least 20 months on the lees.

Technical data

Tasting profile
