Even when harvested at full ripeness, the grapes retain a freshness that has always proven perfect for creating sparkling bases. It is precisely from these considerations that the winery I Borboni produces Sparkling Wines using the Martinotti Method, that is, with refermentation in autoclave.of the base wines. The grapes come from old vines cultivated according to the ancient method of the aversana pergola, already cherished by the Etruscan populations. Taking advantage of its nature as a climbing vine, the vine is trained using tall poplar trees as support. The plants, still on their own roots thanks to the sandy soils, grow with their shoots so high that the harvests are done with long ladders. A piece of the history of viticulture that has miraculously preserved itself until today.

The bouquet expresses aromas of white flowers, citrus notes, lime zest, and aromatic herbs. The sip is lively and vertical with a subtle fruit and a zingy citrus freshness that accompaniestowards a savory finish.
