WINEMAKING : This grape variety has been present in the Sacerno estate for centuries and was once called "Bianchello", owing to the pale colour the wine obtained from it had. High sugar content, its grapes are suitable both for the production of sparkling wines and full-bodied wines with high alcohol content. The Villa Bassi winery has planted an area that covers about 400,000 sqm., being enthusiastic of the quality of wines obtained from this grape variety. Modern winemaking techniques have made this wine of great strength, elegant and pleasant to sip. Fermentation, which takes place with temperature control, as well as static and cool decanting make it possible to obtain a wine that is complete, clear and extremely varietal. For the production of sparkling wines, grapes are harvested 12-15 days in advance, bubbles are generated through natural secondary fermentation in tanks that are manufactured for that purpose and are equipped with temperature control and stirrers with timers.

BOTTLING : Sterile and cool, with clearing and filling in nitrogen controlled atmosphere.
