Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Contadino

Metodo Classico Brut Contadino is a straightforward and genuine sparkling wine, cared for by Ciro Picariello down to the smallest detail. The winery, located in Summonte in the province of Avellino, is characterized by a production philosophy attentive to nature and the surrounding environment, respectful of the varietal characteristics of the vines grown. This approach gives rise to labels such as Brut Contadino, a Spumante with a pleasant sip and very versatile in gastronomic settings. This Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Contadino is created by the Picariello winery from the pure grapes of a great white grape variety from Campania, Fiano. The vines of this variety grow in northeast-facing vineyards, located at an elevation of about 650 meters above sea level, and are rooted in a terroir characterized by a subsoil composed of clay and rock. The grapes, once harvested, ferment spontaneously at room temperature in stainless steel tanks. The must, partially fermented, decants cold and then is bottled. Re-fermentation takes place, following Metodo Classico production principles, in the bottle, where the wine remains to age in contact with its own yeasts for 24 months. Brut Contadino is a Metodo Classico sparkling wine that, on visual inspection, is straw-colored, light and not very intense; the perlage is fine and persistent. The aromas on the nose are deep, with notes that, from floral, veer towards toasted and nuances that bring back to yeast and bread crust. The palate is light-bodied, crisp, with an engaging sip, marked by a pleasant freshness; it closes with a beautifully persistent finish. A product with which the Ciro Picariello winery confirms its prowess not only with still wines, but also with a quality bubbly.
