Inganno 572 Metodo Classico Brut

Description

Brut classic method sparkling wine from Lombardy, produced by Calatroni. 12.5% ABV, 100% Riesling. 0.75L bottle. A classic method born from the passion of the Calatroni family, which has been showcasing its estate-grown grapes since 1964. Since 2002, under the guidance of Cristian and Stefano, the third generation, they have increasingly focused on Pinot Noir, vinifying it as a red wine, but especially as a classic method sparkling white and rosé. Currently, approximately 100,000 bottles of this sparkling wine are produced, all bearing the DOCG Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico designation. Fruity with a distinct hint of freshly picked Rennet apples. Fine and persistent perlage. Round and enveloping, it displays great freshness and good persistence.

• Bottles produced: 150.000
• Hectares: 25

In 1964 grandfather Luigi bought the land that two generations of the Calatroni family have been working as sharecroppers. We began our venture producing traditional wines from Croatina and Barbera grapes, but from 2002 on, under the guidance of brothers Cristian and Stefano, the youngest generation of the family, the focus has more and more shifted to Pinot Noir. We vinify the noble grape as a red wine and especially as white and rosé Metodo Classico sparkling wines. The current production of Metodo Classico has reached 100.000 bottles, all carrying the Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG.

Today, the Calatroni brothers grow about 25 hectares of organic vineyards with the invaluable help of their parents Fausto and Marisa, embracing sustainability as the core value of their philosophy of work. In recent years we opened our agriturismo and launched our hospitality program. Visiting our winery is not just a chance to taste our wines: we hope to offer you an insight into the Oltrepò Pavese region and its wine & food culture, to let you feel the passion that constantly fuels our love for wine and to share with you our vision and our dreams.

Story	Pavia, Easter Eve 572. Alboin, king of the Lombards, succeeded in entering the city after three years of a harsh siege. The people of Pavia, fearing a ruthless revenge, tried to ingratiate themselves with the new ruler and offered him gold, jewels and 12 beautiful virgins. An old baker added a dove-shaped cake to the gifts, begging the king, given the imminence of Easter, to spare the people of Pavia and respect the doves, symbol of peace. The sovereign agreed to the strange request, but soon realised he had been tricked: when he started asking the maidens their names, they all said they were called Dove. Despite this, Alboin kept his word.
