Metodo Classico DOC Sicilia "Terzavia" Brut

Italy
Sicily
2021

100% Grillo. A méthode traditionelle or metodo classico wine from the organically farmed estate vineyard in the Samperi contrada of Marsala. The Grillo vines are over 30 years old, planted on sandy, limestone-rich loam. The bunches are harvested by hand into small bins, directly and gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts. Most of the wine is vinified and aged in stainless steel, with about 20% going into French oak for a year. The wine is blended and bottled with fresh must from the new harvest. It goes through a second fermentation and spends a minimum of 18 months on the lees. The bottles are hand-disgorged and do not receive any dosage.

"The 2021 Brut Terzavia is remarkably pretty, with a nuanced blend of freshly sliced peaches and young mango accentuated by sweet spice. It floods the palate with a bead of crystalline bubbles, mixing ripe orchard fruits with salty minerals and a tinge of sour lime toward the close. Medium in length, the 2021 finishes steely, clean and fresh, with the slightest hint of candied citrus. This is a varietal Grillo produced using Metodo Classico. Disgorged: 2024."
