Calatroni Riesling Italico Inganno 572 Metodo Classico Brut, 0,75 L

Italian Riesling isn't just about still wines; it also boasts mature sparkling varieties, exemplified by Calatroni.

The label date commemorates the historic siege of Pavia by Lombard King Alboin in 572. Despite the regional preference for Pinot Noir in sparkling wine production, this offering opts for Riesling. This grape, native to Central Europe but flourishing in Lombardy's Oltrepò Pavese region for centuries, yields superb quality—particularly suited for sparkling wines. A brief ageing period on the lees ensures the grape's distinctive characteristics shine through.

Fresh and highly aromatic, this sparkling wine is perfect as an aperitif, especially during the summer months. Thanks to the traditional method employed, it offers complexity and a refined effervescence, distinguishing it from many Charmat method sparkling wines.
