Classic Method

Cuvée Extra Brut equal to Pinot Noir which gives structure, body and important aromas, and Chardonnay which gives finesse and elegance. The grapes come from a 3-hectare vineyard, equally divided between chardonnay and pinot noir, which is located on a morainic hill, particularly valuable for soil and exposure. Aging on the lees for no less than 30 months.

The Saten grapes are subjected to a soft pressing in order to obtain the separation of only the flower must which ferments in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks, at a temperature of 15°C. Part of the sparkling base obtained matures for 6-7 months in steel tanks, about 20% is aged in French oak barriques and then assembled for the cuvée.

After years of trials, in 1983 we asked for and obtained authorization to produce sparkling wine; we were the first in our region to the extent that we received from the competent authorities for Abruzzo and Molise the acronym VSN1/TE (Natural Sparkling Wines n° 1/ Teramo).

With the new Collepietro farm and above all with vines of a few years, we didn't think we could produce long-aging sparkling wines.
