CULTIVATION ENVIRONMENT: A unique terroir the Terre della Baronia with its 9 areas and related sub areas. The portions of the vineyard of the Munti area where the clonal selections of Inzolia have been planted combine with those of the Milici area where we find some Chardonnay vineyards that benefit from a soil with a medium texture profile and a good share of limestone skeleton that allow to obtain greater verticality and a strong acidic back, essential for creating a high quality Classic Method. Not only thanks to the specific characteristics of the climate of Campobello we are able to obtain a full maturation of the selected selections, capable of preserving freshness, elegance and aromatic vein. A "Mediterranean" expression that manifests itself in a style of winemaking and cellar choices all aimed at preserving and enhancing the territorial expression.

WORK IN THE CELLAR: All our classic method sparkling wines are created following a scrupulous and restrictive cellar regulations that we have built in 40 years of work and over 25 years of production and marketing.
