Calatroni Metodo Classico

Calatroni Metodo Classico

“The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional
to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid”

William Henry, English chemist (1803)

 

What’s the magic in a bottle of sparkling wine? Perfect balance!

Cristian has always considered Metodo Classico sparkling wines as the most rewarding challenge of his work. When he started to run our winery in 2002, he knew he was in the right place for winning that challenge. In fact, for more than 100 years, the hills of the Versa Valley have given Pinot Noir grapes perfectly suited for the production of top quality Metodo Classico sparkling wines, always supported by a bright acidity and a fascinating complexity.

The growing awareness of the quality of the local Pinot Noir led us to acquire new vineyards. At the moment we own five Pinot Noir vineyards in three municipalities of the Versa Valley: Montecalvo VersiggiaSanta Maria della Versa and Rocca de’ Giorgi. Each vineyard has its own peculiar identity, given by the nature of the soil, the orientation and the altitude.

The constant striving for improvement led Cristian to try different wine-making styles, adopt the latest technologies, use Austrian oak barrels and develop innovative protocols of production.

All the grapes of Pinot Noir used for the production of our Metodo Classico sparkling wines are harvested by hand in 20 kg plastic boxes to preserve them in perfect shape.

The grapes of each vineyard are vinified separately: in the single-vineyard sparkling wines (Poggio dei Duca and Riva Rinetti) you will find the authentic expression of the vineyard and the vintage, while in the multi-vineyard ones you will appreciate the perfect balance reached through a precise blending of the base wines.
