Brut Sparkling Wine
Vino Spumante Brut
This Brut sparkling wine is produced using the Charmat method, proudly displaying the label "Metodo Martinotti" rather than "Charmat." This is a deliberate choice that reflects the wine's identity, intended to celebrate the Italian genius of Federico Martinotti, who invented this revolutionary sparkling winemaking method in 1895.
