Ciro Picariello Brut Contadino Spumante Metodo Classico 2023

A Metodo Classico spumante from Ciro Picariello, made from Fiano di Avellino harvested slightly early to preserve crisp fruit and acidity. It is un-disgorged, so each bottle may be disgorged before drinking or enjoyed with the yeasts still in suspension. The wine shows citrus notes, hazelnut toast and chalky minerality, with a fine perlage, pronounced acidity and hydrocarbon hints. Colours and aromas vary from bottle to bottle. It is suggested with entry-course appetisers, and with bread, butter and salted anchovies.
