Hillside Agronomic Notes and Extra Brut Cellar Protocol

The vineyards develop on hillside plots characterized by a marly-limestone matrix—a unique pedoclimatic habitat ideal for emphasizing the intensity of stable aromatic precursors and safeguarding the sharp acidic freshness of the clusters destined for sparkling winemaking. An early manual harvest selects the grapes at their perfect point of phenolic balance during the early hours of the morning. In the cellar, gentle pressing immediately separates the free-run must from the skins. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. The subsequent sparkling process and aging on the fine lees strengthen the creamy texture and structural depth of the mass, safeguarding a residual sugar content of 5 g/l and an alcohol content of 12.50% Vol.
