This Classic Method is Alessio’s full expression in winemaking. 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes are picked manually in boxes and then only the first squeezing out is kept (40% of the initial pick). The bottles piled up remain at least 36 months in contact with the yeasts before the “riddling” starts (practice of turning the bottles while they are slowly tilted upside down in order so the sediment will eventually settle in the neck of the bottle). Then, the bottles are opened and dosed up with the same wine. 
 
The result is a delicate, elegant sparkling white wine combining the aromas of peach, apple, balsamic herbs, along with a subtle scent of star anise on the nose. In the mouth it’s nicely balanced, with a pleasant acidity and persistence.
