Description
What kind of wine it is
Nature Metodo Classico is a white sparkling wine born from the meeting of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Oltrepò Pavese region. Monsupello produces this pas dosé wine, whose dry profile is matched by a firm structure and a taut palate. Made according to the Traditional Method, it reveals a fine and persistent perlage, wrapped in a soft mousse. The bouquet stands out for its complex notes of bread crust, evolving towards hints of blackcurrant, bitter almond and toasted hazelnut, anticipating a clean and precise sip.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the first hilly belt of Oltrepò Pavese, located between the municipalities of Oliva Gessi and Torricella Verzate. Here Monsupello cultivates Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards on clay-limestone soils rich in sedimentary and sandy rocks. The excellent south-east exposure and abundant sunshine favour the optimal ripening of the fruit. The hill microclimate, with its marked temperature variations, is essential for preserving the natural acidity and ensuring the aromatic precision of the sparkling wine bases.
How it is produced
Production begins in early August with an early manual harvest, necessary to maintain acidity and aromatic freshness. After gentle whole-bunch pressing, the free-run must is clarified and fermented at a controlled temperature in steel tanks. After a period of maturation, the blend is created and the liqueur de tirage is added. The refermentation in the bottle, carried out following the Traditional Method, allows for the slow development of the yeasts, defining the taut structure and the characteristic finesse of the mousse.
