Ca di Camilla 1888 Metodo Classico Brut

Description

1888 is the foundation year carved on the stone of the fireplace in the manor house on the Cà di Camilla estate in Valbiano di Sarsina. The vocation to produce quality wines was certified in 1912 when the table wines of Cà di Camilla won an award at the international exhibition in Paris. In the house inside the winery there are still photographs showing the ancient vineyards that at the time, like the more modern ones today, produced special, quality grapes. Today, extremely meticulous and painstaking work on the land, the vines, and the hand-harvesting of the grapes make it possible to obtain absolutely benchmark wines, characteristic of the area, and of the considerable height at which the vineyard is located, which, in terms of extension, is to be considered the highest in the Savio Valley. Interesting, precisely because of this fact, is the white vinification of the classic method, harvested early to enhance the acidity and structure of the sparkling wine.

• Bottles produced: 10.000
• Hectares: 4

The farm is located along the valley of the river Savio, 4 km after Sarsina, on a gentle plateau. The vineyard covers 4 hectares and is one of the highest in the hilly area.

The microclimate is unique and favourable: the altitude above sea level, the considerable temperature range between day and night, the favourable exposure, the calcareous and well-drained soil, the presence of constant breezes, and the river that flows at the bottom of the valley, allow the grapes to mature without strong contamination from man, in a completely natural way. The result of these factors is unique and unrepeatable: an exaltation of the peculiarities of the cultivated vines and their organoleptic characteristics.

The Veronelli Guide 2021 awarded the following wines with the lotus flower, i.e. wines that were evaluated for the first time (the score ranges from 80 to 93/100 points):
