'XXI Century' Classic Method Sparkling Brut Gran Cuvée D'Araprì 2015

The XXI Secolo Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Gran Cuvée is produced by the Apulian winery D'Araprì only in the best vintages. It is the fruit of a blend that combines local and international grapes, namely Bombino Bianco, Pinot Nero and Montepulciano. The three varieties are grown on the property's slightly sloping land with good percentages of clay and limestone. The vines are cultivated both with the espalier method and with the Apulian pergola system. The manual harvest takes place in stages according to the variety, starting with the Pinot Noir bunches and ending with those of Montepulciano. Once in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and left to ferment in steel tanks. According to the Champenoise method, refermentation in the bottle is foreseen for aging on the lees for at least 5 years. At disgorgement, the dosing liquid for the Brut version is added. XXI Secolo Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Gran Cuvée is perfect to be enjoyed immediately, but can further evolve for 6-7 years.
