[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1566912823625{padding-top: 4px !important;padding-bottom: 42px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Producing a traditional method sparkling wine in Lazio, many years ago, almost seemed like a provocation. For us, it felt like a natural evolution of our work\u2014a step in line with our curiosity and with the desire to fully explore the potential of our land. That\u2019s how our Brut Nature was born: a classic method Chardonnay-based sparkling wine that we are proud to consider the first of its kind in our region.<\/p>\n

A land we know very well<\/h4>\n

The vineyard where it all begins is located in the area of Civitella d\u2019Agliano, in the Tuscia Viterbese\u2014land we know intimately, which has been part of our family\u2019s history for nearly a century. It\u2019s a territory marked by volcanic soils and rolling hills that overlook Lake Bolsena. Our \u201cSan Martino\u201d vineyard, planted in 1979, is small but valuable, and we tend to it with great care, respecting biodiversity and natural rhythms.<\/p>\n

A slow and respectful process<\/h4>\n

Harvesting takes place in August, always by hand. After a gentle pressing, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. It then rests for seven months on fine lees, gaining complexity and structure. The next stage\u2014perhaps the most important\u2014takes place in our old tuff caves, where the wine referments and matures on the lees for 96 months at a constant temperature. We choose not to add dosage: we bottle it as Brut Nature, with no added sugars, to allow the varietal and territorial character to express itself more clearly and sincerely.<\/p>\n

The profile of our Metodo Classico<\/h4>\n

The result is an elegant sparkling wine, with a fine and persistent perlage, offering aromas that range from citrus to aromatic herbs, with notes of ripe yellow fruit and toasted nuances from the extended lees aging. On the palate, it\u2019s taut and fresh, yet also deep and savory.<\/p>\n
