Cuveè Vino Spumante di Qualità Metodo Classico Brut - Castello di Stefanago

The Cuveè Quality Sparkling Wine Classic Method Brut by Castello di Stefanago is a sparkling wine obtained from a blend of white grapes. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe, almost overripe, with manual harvesting, and left to macerate for a few hours during pressing. The first fermentation takes place in steel tanks: fermentation which stops with the first cold temperatures. The arrival of spring favors the awakening of the yeasts which transform the last sugar residues into alcohol, thus naturally starting a second fermentation in the bottle. The disgorgement is done manually, after 36 months of remaining on the yeasts, and the bottles are filled with the same wine without adding anything.
