The Spumante Brut Blanc de Blancs from the Cuvage winery is a tribute to Chardonnay, an elegant and refined ode to this extraordinary Burgundy grape, which has adapted very well to Piemonte. It is a very classic and traditional interpretation, focusing on the refined finesse of the aromas and the clear mineral freshness. Due to its particular characteristics, it is a Metodo Classico especially suitable for pairing with an aperitif, light seafood appetizers, raw fish, or noble fish cooked in a salt crust.
The Brut Blanc de Blancs from Cuvage is a Metodo Classico resulting from a careful selection of the best Chardonnay parcels from the estate, located in the Monferrato area. The vineyards are cultivated on the beautiful hillside exposures of the area that stretches from Acqui Terme to Nizza Monferrato, at an altitude of over 350 meters above sea level. The cool and breezy climate, along with soils composed of gray-white marls, rich in limestone, create an ideal habitat for the noble French grape. The harvest is carried out manually with a slight advance to preserve the necessary freshness. The best bunches are then subjected to a soft pressing to extract only the first fraction of the must. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The base wines are then blended to create the final cuvée, which undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, with a minimum aging on the lees of at least 18 months.
The Metodo Classico Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvage is the clear expression of the elegant and refined purity of Chardonnay. It is a sparkling wine that focuses primarily on expressive immediacy, on the fragrance of the typical varietal aromas of the grape. In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow color, with light golden reflections and a delicate, fine perlage with good persistence. The bouquet offers aromas of orange blossom and hawthorn, citrus notes, white-fleshed fruit, hints of bread crust, pastries, and toasted dried fruit, particularly almonds and hazelnuts. The taste is harmonious and creamy, with pleasantly rich fruit and a finish of great freshness.
