This wine ages for 30 months on the yeasts in the bottle, kept underground in our small cellar where the change of seasons has just a small impact on the temperature. Both the low residual sugar (less than 3 gr) and the long ageing on the yeasts in the bottle, characterise this version of Dama Bianca Metodo Classico.
The bubble becomes cream and the time shows the best side of this bottle of absolute rigour.
This is a bottle for those who want to drink a great classic, out of the box.
Our Spumante with the longest ageing, produced in limited edition.
