Classic Method

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.

Vintage: 2016 Denomination: Classic method sparkling wine "Illuminati Brut" Alcohol: 12.00% vol Format: 75cl Pairings: As a prelude and as a continuation of a meal, it enhances fish-based dishes with refinement.

Excellent aperitif and in combination with appetizers. Also good throughout the meal on fish, in particular with shellfish. Marriage of love: sea bass in salt!

The French blood of the Vistarino family can be found in the Pinot Noir clones, in the architecture of the villa and in the name of this wine which is the marriage of two primary grape varieties for sparkling wines: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Straw yellow color with soft golden reflections, fine and persistent perlage. The nose denotes intense and enveloping aromas, notes of ripe fruit and slight hints of almond and hazelnut stand out.

Intense straw yellow with golden reflections, with a fine and persistent perlage. The first nose is rich and fresh with notes of citrus and small red fruits embellished, on the finish, by a light tone of melted butter. Upon aeration it becomes richer and more evolved and expresses fruity and fermentative characteristics in perfect balance with each other. The attack in the mouth is creamy, balanced and fresh and with a good structure, with some tannins that appear in the middle of the palate. In the finish, the creamy structure becomes more incisive and closes with a nice gustative persistence.

Fairly deep coppery color, brilliant, fine and persistent perlage. It is fine and delicate, fragrant with notes reminiscent of berries, citrus fruits and rose petals. On the palate it is dry, rightly acidic, fresh and gentle, delicate and harmonious with a finish of currant, almonds and berries.
