As is with life, it’s also important to have balance in the bottle. That was the aim of A.A. Calastroni when they began making Metodo Classico - ensure the utmost balance in ever bottle.

Organic grapes from Il Poggio vineyard of Oltrepo’ Pavese, this Lombardia Metodo Classico imbues freshness and character thanks to the mineral rich limestone and clay soils, as well as the concentration of flavor from the 40 year old vines and zingy acidity thanks to the varying 200-540m altitude. Each vineyard is vilified separately and aged for 48 months sur lie. 600 bottles made.

Pours into the glass a light-toned yellow with greenish reflections. Delicate yet complex aromas of white blossom, yellow apple, red berries, citrus, hints of bread crust and smokey minerals leading to somewhere special on the palate. Creamy texture with lively fine perlage. An electric acidity joins the flavors of honeysuckle, burnt honey, lemon zest, pastry cream, raspberry, toast, toasted hazelnuts into a lingering savory mushroom finish. An engaging sparkling that has a glorious Pinot Nero personality - it’s sharp & pure in its brut nature character, elegant and complex.

Paired with creamy zucchini potage, fried chicken or pan-seared sea bass with cherry tomato confit.
