Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Donnafugata 2019

The Sparkling wine Classic Method Brut by Donnafugata is a refined and elegant bubbly, centered on floral aromas that captivate the nose from the very first moments. A harmonious and balanced sparkling wine, which contextualizes two international grape varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, in a blend that showcases the beauty of the Sicilian terroir, in a sip that is nothing short of satisfying, risking to finish the bottle too quickly. A vintage of excellent craftsmanship, as confirmed by the good scores awarded by the main Italian industry guides.

The Sparkling wine Classic Method signed by Donnafugata is a Brut that arises from the union of two international grape varieties that often come together when talking about bubbles: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The grapes of these two varieties come from the Tenuta di Contessa Entellina and from those vineyards that Donnafugata owns in southwestern Sicily. The grapes, once harvested and brought to the winemaking facilities, undergo a first fermentation in steel, and then referment, following the production principles of the Classic Method, in the bottle, where the wine remains to refine on its own yeasts for 36 months.

The Brut Classic Method by Donnafugata is a Sparkling wine that, in the glass, has a straw yellow color, crossed by more golden flashes. The nose is dominated by sensations that present various floral aromas, enriched by hints that recall yeasts and bread crust. On the palate, it has good structure, is balanced, with a sleek and smooth drinkability that relies on a fresh sip, characterized by good salinity. A label that confirms Donnafugata's ability to engage not only with the whites and reds typical of Sicilian winemaking tradition but also with the creation of elegant bubbles, representing one of the new challenges undertaken by the winery.
