Antica Cascina dei Conti di Roero Spumante Brut
This was the first sparkling wine to be made by Antica Cascina Conti di Roero, and it was created for fun. Gigi has a passion for bubbly, so in 2009, we started making it, with a particular aim: to use exclusively the native grape varieties grown on the estate. In this case, Arneis and Nebbiolo, picked before they are fully ripe, when the acidity is still very evident.

Harvest The grapes are harvested by hand into 20-kg crates at the end of August.
Fermentation temperature 17-18°C
Vinification Immediately after hand-picking and meticulous selection, the grapes are soft pressed and left to settle. It then undergoes temperature controlled fermentation at 17-18°C in steel tanks. In Spring, the base wine, with the addition of sugar and selected yeasts (“liqueur de tirage”), is bottled. The bottles are laid down horizontally in large crates and kept at a constant temperature of 12-14°C for at least 18 months, during which the prise de mousse takes place (2nd fermentation). Subsequently, the bottles undergo “remuage” (shaking) to detach the sediment from the sides of the bottle and encourage it to move towards the cork of the bottle, which is now positioned upside down. This is followed by “dégorgement” (disgorging or elimination of the lees) and the topping up of the bottles with a small dose of “liqueur d’ expédition”. The sparkling wine is then corked and left to rest in the bottle for a few months before being released for sale.
Ageing At least 36 months in the bottle, on its own yeasts.
