Castello di Neive Metodo Classico Spumante, Piedmont, Italy
The Castello di Neive Metodo Classico is a sparkling wine produced using the traditional method, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. What exactly does Metodo Classico mean? This is the Italian term for the same production method as in Champagne, where the mousse is created by re-fermentation in the bottle and prolonged contact with the lees ensures extra complexity.
With this wine, Castello di Neive demonstrates that, in addition to Barbaresco, the estate also shows craftsmanship in sparkling wines.
Origin: Langhe, Piedmont
The grapes originate from the hilly landscape of the Langhe around Neive.
-
Langhe, Piedmont: region with calcareous soils and clear temperature differences between day and night.
-
Hilly location: supports aromatic development and retention of acidity.
-
Calcareous subsoil: contributes to freshness and structure.
These conditions are essential for the production of high-quality sparkling wines using the traditional method.
Grape and vinification
Grapes – Langhe, Piedmont
The wine is produced using Metodo Classico, where the base wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. During this phase, the mousse develops, and the wine matures on its lees for an extended period, contributing to complexity and refinement.
After aging, the disgorgement process follows, where the yeast is removed and the wine is sealed with cork and muselet.
Character and style
In the glass, this Metodo Classico displays a clear color with a fine, persistent mousse. Through aging on the lees, the wine develops aromas of fresh fruit and subtle brioche notes. The acidity provides tension and balance, while the mousse remains refined and integrated.
Serve chilled around 6–8 °C to allow the freshness and elegance to fully express themselves.
