The Spumante Metodo Classico Brut di Banfi was obtained from Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero grapes grown between Acqui and Novi Ligure, in the province of Alessandria. According to the rules of the Classic Method, the wine was subjected to a second fermentation in the bottle with permanence in contact with the yeasts for at least 24 months, at the end of which the residues of the fermentation were eliminated by dégorgement à la glace. This last operation consists of turning the bottle upside down by placing the neck in an icy solution that freezes the extreme portion of liquid in which the exhausted yeasts have accumulated: the iced cylinder of wine that will be eliminated thanks to the internal pressure of the bottle itself.

SPUMANTE METODO CLASSICO BRUT BANFI: TASTING

The Spumante Metodo Classico Brut by Banfi is presented in a glass of a bright straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine perlage. On the nose, it releases aromas of yellow-fleshed fruits that combine with fragrant hints of white flowers and delicate notes of honey and citrus. The sip is lively and pleasant, enhanced by an invigorating freshness combined with an elegant minerality that persists in the finish. Excellent as a wine for the entire meal, at the table, it goes well with fresh and semi-aged cheeses as well as vegetarian dishes and seafood recipes based on white fish, molluscs and crustaceans.
