Description
Classic method sparkling wine from Ca del Vent, in Lombardy. 12.5% ABV, 100% Chardonnay. 0.75 L bottle, 2017 vintage. A wine born from the passion of a winery that crafts 6.5 hectares of vineyards, nestled in the Colline dei Campiani di Cellatica Natural Park at 400 meters above sea level. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, then aged for 7 months in barriques. Spontaneous and complete malolactic fermentation. No fining, stabilization, or filtration. Secondary fermentation with grape sugar and bottle-aged sur lattes for 59 months. A blend of finesse and freshness typical of wines from cold vintages, and body and concentration, a legacy of the reduced yields caused by the two major climatic events in June.

Unique soils in the region, clayey limestone loam, and a dense system of underground springs have given rise to 11 different crus, all cared for by hand and with personalized agronomic practices, to be able to accompany the distinctive characteristics of each microzone in each single grape. We harvest each cru separately and at very low yields (less than 1kg grapes/plant), making wine instinctively and not according to protocols: our wines are the children of vintages, of the land and of a deep sensitivity towards the plants.
