Spumante "GIORGI 1870" Metodo Classico DOCG GIORGI

This wine is a “Metodo Classico DOCG” (bottle fermented) and it is one of the most famous bottles of Giorgi winery. It is produced with 100% Pinot Noir grapes, cultivated in the areas of Montecalvo Versiggia, S. Maria della Versa and Rocca de’ Giorgi, located between 250-400 meters elevation on soils rich of clay and limestone, in Lombardy. The vineyard produces 60-70 quintals per hectare. After the harvest, usually planned between the end of August and the beginning of September, the grapes are submitted to a light soft pressing that extract only the free-run must. Then static clarification followed by fermentation, managed at a controlled temperature of 18°C in steel containers. In the next spring the wine is bottled with the “tirage” method.
