Description
What kind of wine it is
The Metodo Classico Solera Extra Brut by Buvoli is a sparkling wine that enhances Pinot Noir grapes vinified as a white wine. This Blanc de Noirs stands out for its vibrant profile and captivating oxidative style. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of orange blossom and dried aromatic herbs, interwoven with hints of renetta apple, candied orange, and citrus peel, finishing with smoky notes of burnt straw and a distinct chalky minerality. On the palate, it is taut, with a harmonious balance between freshness and savouriness. The finish is persistent and highly versatile for food pairings, supported by the slight astringency of fine tannins.
Where it comes from
It originates in Veneto from the dedication of Buvoli, a winery focused on the pure expression of Pinot Noir. The winemaking approach aims to preserve the integrity of the grape variety and the territorial identity. The use of a blend managed with the Solera method, bringing the wines together in a perpetual cuvée, ensures a complex aromatic imprint and an exciting acidic drive. The complete absence of filtration offers an authentic and structured glass, ideal for accompanying starters, fish dishes, and delicate cheese selections, effortlessly enhancing the entire meal.
How it is produced
The process follows the Traditional Method, starting with temperature-controlled vinification in steel and wooden vats. Ageing takes place on fine lees in partially filled barrels, where resting in a perpetual cuvée shapes the wine’s measured oxidative note. The secondary fermentation occurs without fining, and the use of an unfiltered liqueur preserves the richness of the raw material. The result is an intact and profound Extra Brut, characterised by a long savoury finish and a remarkable capacity for ageing in the cellar.
History and Curiosities
The Metodo Classico Solera Extra Brut originates in Veneto from the vision of Marco Buvoli, who founded the Opificio del Pinot Nero in 2001. The creation of this authentic Blanc de Noirs is based on the allure of the perpetual cuvée, blending wines from different vintages aged in partially filled barrels to create an intriguing oxidative style. By strictly avoiding filtration and clarification, the winery preserves a vibrant acidity and a complex aromatic profile. Awarded by the Bibenda and Vitae guides, it is an excellent gastronomic sparkling wine inspired by the great artisanal Champagnes.
