Brut Rosé Metodo Classico

Wines

Crafted entirely from 100% Sagrantino, Umbria’s noble red grape, this elegant sparkling rosé honors the pioneering spirit of Cantina Scacciadiavoli, founded in 1884 in the historic wine country of Montefalco. The grapes are hand-harvested in early September, gently pressed, and undergo a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation before a second fermentation in the bottle following the traditional Metodo Classico, then rest sur lie for a minimum of 24 months.

The result is a radiant, fine-beaded rosé with aromas of red berry, wild herb, violet, and brioche, leading to a dry, refined palate of strawberry, pomegranate, and orange zest balanced by crisp acidity and a persistent perlage.

Brut NV – 88 Points – Robert Parker Wine Advocate (#195 Jun.2011)
“The NV Brut is an unusual wine made from Sagrantino vinified off the skins. It is a pretty, refreshing sparkling wine loaded with clean, crisp green apples, flowers and mint. This pleasant NV Brut should be enjoyed in its youth.” ~A.G.
