Metodo Classico Valentino Brut 2012

Perlage

In the glass, with slow movement, we observe austere bubbles.

Perfume

The wine is complex and persistent. The initial fragrance is dominated by ripe yellow fruit, with a marked presence of banana that, after a few moments, evolves into more exotic tropical notes such as mango and papaya, without ever losing a vibrant citrus component. The whole is enriched by an elegant essence of yellow flowers, adding a touch of floral finesse. Delicate, enveloping notes of butter follow—particularly peanut butter—which harmoniously blend with hints of dried fruit. The oak is masterfully handled: a light boisée note, accompanied by a fresh and elegant toastiness, supports the bouquet without overwhelming it, lending complexity and refinement.

Color

The color, tending toward golden hues, still shows the last traces of straw yellow. This chromatic contrast suggests a wine that is evolving, yet still retains a certain visual freshness.

Taste

The wine opens with a clear citrus imprint, immediately accompanied by a distinct presence of tropical fruit. A light spiciness emerges on the finish, subtle and well-measured, adding complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The flavour structure is solid, with a noticeable sapidity that perfectly intertwines with the acidity, creating a dynamic and pleasant balance. The sip is soft, rounded, and fully balanced. The persistence is remarkable: the wine is long-lasting, leaving a clear and clean gustatory memory.
