Spanda Metodo Classico Spumante Brut

Wine description for Spanda Metodo Classico Spumante Brut from Tenuta di Carleone

Character

An exceptional sparkling winewhich epitomises the Tuscan interpretation of classic bottle fermentation. The Tenuta di Carleone has ventured a fascinating experiment here: Sangiovese as the basis for a Metodo Classico - a bold decision that shows how versatile this emblematic Tuscan grape variety can be.

The moderate alcohol content of 12.0% and the dry orientation emphasise the focus on elegance and drinking flow. This is not about power, but about the subtle translation of Tuscan winemaking tradition into the language of the art of sparkling wine.

Terroir and craftsmanship

The Tuscany may not be the first region that springs to mind when thinking of sparkling wine, but that is precisely what makes this Spumante so appealing. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, gives Sangiovese that special flavour. Natural acidwhich is essential for a lively sparkling wine.

The Metodo Classico preparation - traditional bottle fermentation - demonstrates craftsmanship and respect for tradition. The fact that a red grape variety is vinified here as Blanc de Noirs speaks for technical understanding and oenological courage.

Food pairing suggestions

An Versatile companion with Tuscan cuisine: with antipasti with pecorino and salumi, light pasta dishes or grilled fish. The Sangiovese base gives it enough structure to go well with more savoury dishes.

Ideal as Aperitif or for occasions that call for an unconventional but authentically Italian sparkling wine - a wine that respects tradition without slavishly following it.
