The Blanc de Blancs Metodo Classico by Cossignani L.E. Tempo is the result of the desire to produce a great sparkling wine in the Marche region. The estate is managed according to the principles of organic farming, with cover cropping to maintain soil fertility and promote biodiversity. The Pecorino vines are 30 years old and are cultivated at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level with south and southeast orientation, on soils composed of limestone and sandstone. The harvest is done manually in the second half of August. The grapes undergo cryomaceration for 24 hours before soft pressing. The must is cold decanted and then started to ferment, partly in cement tanks and partly in oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation. In the following spring, the final blend is created. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, with a stay on the lees of 18 months before disgorgement.

The Spumante Blanc de Blancs Cossignani L.E. Tempo is a Metodo Classico that offers immediate pleasure.

It presents itself in the glass with a beautiful bright straw yellow color, crossed by a fine and continuous perlage, which brings aromas of delightful apple, white peach, citrus notes, floral hints, and bread crust.
