Production process: Blend of white grapes vinified with the most modern production processes in autoclave with the “Charmat” method.
This method, developed by the Italian winemaker Federico Martinotti and subsequently improved and patented by the French Eugène Charmat, involves the fermentation of the wine in large pressurized tanks, called autoclaves, rather than in bottles as is the case in the traditional method.
– The process begins with the production of a still base wine obtained by the alcoholic fermentation of grape must. – Once the first fermentation has been completed, the base wine is assembled and filtered to obtain a clean, sediment-free product.
– The filtered base wine is transferred to large pressurised tanks called autoclaves. In these autoclaves, sugar and yeast are added to start the second fermentation.
– The second fermentation takes place under pressure, which allows the carbon dioxide produced by yeasts to be trapped during fermentation in the wine, thus creating the characteristic bubbles of the sparkling wine.
– The sparkling wine may be allowed to age in autoclave for a period ranging from a few days to several months, depending on the type of sparkling wine desired. During this phase, the wine further develops its aromas and its structure.
– After completion of the second fermentation and maturation, the wine is filtered to remove the spent yeasts and any other sediment. Subsequently, the wine is bottled under pressure to keep the bubbles.
The Charmat method better preserves the fresh fruity aromas of the grapes, resulting in light and aromatic sparkling wines.
