Description
It is the most typical product, obtained exclusively from “Bombino Bianco” grapes, an indigenous vine that the Casa d’Araprì has successfully tested as a base wine able to be sparkling with the Classic Method. The technique of the first fermentation in wood gives to the RN a shimmering gold colour, a scent full of ripe fruit and hints of vanilla. Notes are tasty, full-bodied and complex.

It all started in 1979 with the sharing of the wine experiences of the families of the 3 partners: Girolamo D’Amico, Louis Rapini and Ulrico Priore. Fundamental to Louis, who assimilated the job following his father in France when he worked in a winery in Champagne, also those of Girolamo and Ulrico in recognizing the potential of their territory while supporting their parents in the production of local wines. From their initials comes the name D’Araprì. Together they were the pioneers in raising Bombino Bianco, an ancient white variety brought to the area by the Crusaders, from the usual dry white wine to a high quality Spumante, giving luster to the whole area. In the cellar and in the vineyard a precise set of rules: the use of only the flower must from the grapes planted in the area, temperatures below 20 °C, draft within the month of March of the following year and a prolonged stay on the yeasts.
