Description
What kind of wine it is
The Et Voila Metodo Classico Brut from Cascina Baricchi is a Piedmontese sparkling wine that is taut and elegant, made from Pinot Noir grapes. It appears a bright straw yellow in the glass, animated by a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet blends notes of white flowers, citrus peel and green apple with delicate hints of pastry. On the palate, it expresses a distinct mineral tension, combined with a long and clean finish. This precision of flavour makes it ideal for accompanying shellfish, sushi, fish dishes, fried foods and cheeses at the end of a meal.
Where it comes from
Production takes place in Piedmont, on the hills of Neviglie, where Cascina Baricchi has been operating since 1989. The winery manages seven hectares of vineyards, paying great attention to the nuances of Pinot Noir, the principal grape variety of this label. The targeted winemaking process allows for the creation of a high-quality sparkling wine with great technical precision and a strong sense of place. Critical acclaim attests to the outstanding value of this renowned terroir.
How it is produced
This sparkling wine is made strictly using the Traditional Method, through secondary fermentation in the bottle. The crucial stage is the very long ageing on the lees for seventy-two months, which imparts aromatic complexity and structure while preserving the original freshness. The Brut dosage enhances its vertical and crisp profile. To fully appreciate every detail, it is recommended to decant for one hour before serving at 16 to 18°C. Its marked longevity ensures positive evolution over five to ten years.
History and Curiosities
The 2017 vintage of Et Voilà Metodo Classico Brut represents an outstanding achievement by Cascina Baricchi, a winery founded in 1989 in Neviglie, Piedmont.

Created by Natale Simonetta, this prestigious sparkling wine can evolve for 5-10 years. The quality of this VSQ is celebrated by the Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso and the superb score of 94/100 from Vinous, which confirm its refined profile and pronounced mineral tension.
