Inspired by the ancient world and ancestral methods of winemaking, it is a sparkling white obtained thanks to the final alcoholic fermentation directly in the bottle. This method has very ancient origins and was generally used in the Champagne area; the wine obtained obtained a greater unique organoleptic complexity.
The Ancestral method is an ancient method, it consists of a light pressing of the grapes necessary for the extraction of the indigenous yeasts present in the peel of the bunches, followed by fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures.
At this point, the fermentation is blocked at a precise sugar content, necessary to guarantee the recovery of the same after bottling where the final part of the fermentation takes place, without adding yeasts or sugars. giving the wine a presence of yeasts on the bottom that make the wine cloudy.
The varietal aromas of the red berried grapes marry peacefully with those of the yeasts. The deposit on the bottom is a completely natural aspect, the turbid aspect of the wine is given precisely to its particular production technique.
