The Brut Metodo Classico 2015 from Castello del Trebbio is an exquisite sparkling wine from Tuscany. It is presented in a deep straw yellow. On the nose, complex aromas of yellow flowers, yellow-fleshed fruits, dried fruits and pleasant notes of saffron, white pepper and wildflower honey develop, complemented by hints of pastry. On the palate, it is soft, enveloping, dry, fresh and slightly salty with a fine, creamy perlage and an elegant, long-lasting finish.

This wine consists of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Trebbiano. Chardonnay gives the wine its creamy texture and elegant fruit aromas, while Trebbiano provides freshness and structure. These grape varieties grow particularly well in Tuscany’s Mediterranean climate, which is characterized by hot summers and mild winters. The soils consist mainly of limestone, which gives the wine a special minerality.

The special feature of Brut Metodo Classico 2015 lies in its traditional production method. The wine is produced using the classic method (Metodo Classico), which is also used for champagne. This means that the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by a long aging on the yeast, in this case 30 months, which gives the wine its fine perlage and complex aromas.
