Production process: A blend of white grapes vinified using the most modern production processes in an autoclave according to the “Charmat” method.

This method, developed by the Italian oenologist Federico Martinotti and subsequently improved and patented by the Frenchman Eugène Charmat, involves fermenting the wine in large pressurised tanks, known as autoclaves, rather than in the bottle as is the case with the traditional method

• The process begins with the production of a still base wine, obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of grape must. - Once the first fermentation is complete, the base wine is blended and filtered to obtain a clean product free from sediment.
• The filtered base wine is transferred to large pressurised tanks called autoclaves. In these autoclaves, sugar and yeast are added to initiate the second fermentation.
• The second fermentation takes place under pressure, which allows the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast during fermentation to be trapped within the wine, thus creating the characteristic bubbles of sparkling wine.
• Sparkling wine can be left to mature in the 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 structure.
• Once the second fermentation and ageing are complete, the wine is filtered to remove the spent yeast and any other sediment. The wine is then bottled under pressure to retain the bubbles.

The Charmat method better preserves the fresh, fruity aromas of the grapes, resulting in light and aromatic sparkling wines
