Méthodes Traditionnelles

The grapes for Fattoria La Vialla’s "Metodo Classico" wines (the Italian Méthode Traditionnelle) come from the Oltrepò Pavese area, where we grow Pinot Nero (and a few rows of Chardonnay), the undisputed king of that land, excellent home of sparkling wines and bubbly. The Méthode Traditionnelle is the most important and arduous method for making sparkling wine, but it gives exceptional results. It is characterised by extremely slow refermentation in the bottle and lengthy maturing of the wine in contact with the yeasts. It’s the method used to make the world’s most famous champagnes. La Vialla’s “Metodo Classico” wines are guaranteed organic, they are dry (Extra Brut) with very fine perlage, Millesimati (= Millésimé) and have a low sulphite content (70-86 mg/l). Ideal for a toast to celebrate special occasions, to accompany aperitifs or even an entire menu.
