Description
What kind of wine it is
In Monsupello Cuvee Ca’ del Tava Brut Metodo Classico, the Pinot Noir provides structure to the palate, while the Chardonnay brings a delicate elegance. This sparkling wine from Lombardy, produced strictly according to the Traditional Method, displays an intense straw yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. The evolved bouquet combines hints of vanilla, derived from ageing in wooden barrels, with notes of exotic fruit. On the palate, it is dry and harmonious, with a sweet tannin that lends softness and a long aromatic persistence. It is the ideal choice to accompany an entire meal, particularly recommended to enhance oysters, shellfish, and fish-based dishes.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Lombardy, on the hills of Torricella Verzate, from the rows of the Ca’ del Tava vineyard. The vineyards, facing south-west, are home to vines around twenty years old that sink their roots into calcareous soils. This specific geological matrix gives the glass a pronounced dryness, combined with perfect gustatory balance. The high planting density encourages balanced ripening of the grapes, ensuring remarkable aromatic concentration and a lively mousse.
How it is produced
The agricultural management favours a low environmental impact, through grassing and the complete absence of chemical herbicides. After manual harvesting, the process continues in the winery with a gentle whole-bunch pressing to extract only the purest free-run must, which ferments in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The heart of the production process is the long ageing on the lees in the bottle, typical of the Traditional Method, which lasts for at least seventy months. This prolonged maturation defines the extraordinary complexity of the sparkling wine, completed by disgorgement and the addition of the Brut dosage.

| Wine making | White vinification begins with the gentle pressing of whole grapes, which separates the must from the skins; in separate containers, the free-run must (the first 50% of liquid drained from pressing, which is more fruity, acidic, and refined) is separated from the second-pressing must. The free-run must, clarified and racked after about a day, is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18°C. |
| Aging | The cuvée undergoes protein stabilisation and filtration; it is then bottled for the second fermentation at 12°C and the post-fermentation ageing on the yeast lees lasts at least 70 months before remuage and disgorgement; notes of vanilla from ageing in barrique are present. |
