A great sparkling wine from Marche
The
Blanc de Blancs Classic Method by Cossignani L.E. Tempo arises from the desire to produce a great sparkling wine in the Marche territory. The estate is managed according to organic farming principles, with inter-row grassing to maintain soil fertility and promote biodiversity. The Pecorino vines, 30 years old, are cultivated at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level with a south and southeast orientation, on soils composed of limestone and sandstone. Harvesting is done manually in the second half of August. The grapes undergo cryomaceration for 24 hours before gentle pressing. The must is cold decanted and then fermentation begins, partly in cement tanks and partly in oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation. The final blend is created the following spring. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Classic Method, with a stay on the lees for 18 months before
dégorgement.
