Brut Sparkling Wines: A Complete Guide to Italian Sparkling Wines
Bubbles have always been associated with celebrations and special moments. Brut sparkling wines are one of the most loved and widespread types in Italy. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything there is to know about Brut sparkling wines , from their production, tastes and pairings, to the best labels available on the market.
What is a Brut Sparkling Wine?
Brut sparkling wine is a sparkling wine characterized by a low amount of residual sugar. The term "Brut" refers to the level of sweetness of the wine, and in this case, indicates that the wine is dry, with less than 12 grams of residual sugar per litre. This makes it a very popular choice for those who prefer less sweet and more refreshing wines.
Method of Production
Brut sparkling wines are mainly produced using two methods: Classic Method and Charmat Method.
Classic method
The Classic Method is also known as the Traditional Method or Champenoise Method and is the method used to produce Champagne. In this process, the base wine ferments a second time in the bottle, creating natural bubbles and enriching the aromas and flavours. It is a long and complex method, but the result is a wine of great elegance and structure.
Charmat method
The Charmat Method, also known as the Italian Method, is a faster and more efficient process. The base wine ferments a second time in large stainless steel tanks, maintaining the freshness and fruitiness of the wine. This method is often used for younger and lighter sparkling wines.
Characteristics of Brut Sparkling Wines
Brut sparkling wines have several characteristics that make them unique and distinctive:
Lively acidity
The Bruts have a lively acidity that makes them fresh and inviting on the palate. This acidity balances out the lack of sweetness, creating a harmonious balance.
Fruity aromas
Brut sparkling wines offer a wide range of fruity aromas, such as green apple, citrus and white peach. These fresh and fruity aromas make these wines ideal as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to light dishes.
Fine and persistent bubbles
The bubbles of Brut sparkling wines are fine and persistent, creating a pleasant sensation of fizz in the mouth.
