Gianni Tessari | Spumante
Gianni Tessari's Italian winery takes the art of sparkling wine production to a new level by focusing on the production of high-quality Metodo Classico sparkling wines from the indigenous and rare Durello grape variety.
The journey begins in the vineyards where the Durello grape thrives under the warm Italian sun. This grape, known for its resilience and unique flavor profile, is carefully harvested by hand at the peak of its ripeness to reveal its full potential.
After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed to extract the juice, which undergoes a slow and controlled fermentation process. This allows the natural flavors and aromas of the Durello grape to fully develop, resulting in a base wine of exceptional quality.
However, the real magic happens during the second fermentation, when the base wine is transferred into bottles and a precise blend of yeast and sugar is added. The bottles, sealed with a crown cap, are then stored in cool cellars where they undergo a transformation process known as 'prise de mousse'.
During this time, the yeast interacts with the sugars in the wine, producing carbon dioxide and creating the characteristic bubbles that give Metodo Classico sparkling wines their effervescence. This production method, which is similar to that used in Champagne, results in wines of incomparable complexity and elegance.
After months of ageing, the bottles are carefully shaken and disgorged to remove the yeast sediment before being topped up with a dosage of wine and sugar to achieve a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.
The end result is a collection of Metodo Classico sparkling wines that reflect the terroir of Gianni Tessari's vineyards and the meticulous craftsmanship of the winemaking team. Each bottle is proof of the company's commitment to producing sparkling wines of the highest quality that will delight wine lovers all over the world. - Gerardo [TS03/24]
