The wine from Monsupello
The Sparkling wine Nature from the Monsupello winery is a cuvée consisting of 90% Pinot Nero grapes and 10% Chardonnay, all sourced from the vineyards owned by the winery. The vineyards are meticulously maintained, from bud pruning to bunch thinning, which promotes better grape ripening and enhances the concentration of sugars and aromatic compounds.This is a sparkling wine for connoisseurs, for those who love drinking well.
THE WINEMAKING
The harvest is manual, using eighteen-kilo crates. Once the grapes arrive at the cellar, winemaking begins with soft pressing of the selected grapes. The free-run must, the initial juice extracted (approximately 45% of the total must), is clarified and left to ferment in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18°C. Following a period of ageing in steel that varies depending on the vintage, the wine is bottled with yeast for secondary fermentation and left to rest for a minimum of twenty-eighth months at a consistent temperature of 14°C. After disgorging, the sparkling wine is matured for several additional months in the cellar before being released to the market.
Tasting the sparkling wine Nature from Monsupello
The wine is a deep straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles; its aroma is elegant and complex, featuring delightful hints of cassis that give way to notes of bread crust and brioche, finishing with subtle hints of bitter almond and toasted hazelnut. This sparkling wine is soft and refined on the palate, offering a fresh and well-structured experience. It is dry yet juicy, inviting you to take another sip. The finish is long and persistent.
