The “Vergomberra” by Bruno Verdi is a Spumante Metodo Classico that comes from a blend where, alongside 70% of Pinot Nero, we also find 30% of Chardonnay. The vineyards where these two international varieties grow are located in Canneto Pavese, at an altitude of about 150-200 meters above sea level, and the vines are trained here using the spalliera and guyot systems. The first fermentation of the must takes place both in steel and - for 15% of the total mass - in Austrian barriques,Austrian, for a total of 6 months. The second fermentation then takes place in the bottle following the production methods of the Metodo Classico and the sparkling wine remains to mature on the lees for a full 42 months.
The Extra Brut Spumante Metodo Classico "Vergomberra" reveals itself to the eye with a bright straw yellow color, crossed by a fine and subtle perlage, endowed with remarkable persistence. Refined is the progression of aromas that announces itself to the nose, with a sip where the fruit and citrus gradually give way to hints of lavender and reminders of yeast. On the palate, it has excellent structure, with an inviting creamy foam and a sip of pleasant freshness. A bottle that embodies the historical vocation of the Oltrepò Pavese terroir for the creation of high-quality bubbles.
