Metodo Classico Milazzo

Milazzo Classico is a Classic Method sparkling wine produced following a scrupulous and restrictive cellar specification, built in 40 years of work and over 25 years of production and marketing. Minimum 24 months on the lees. At each harvest, the spumante bases are selected from the wines produced in the sub-areas destined for the production of grapes for the classic method. Extreme control of the refermentation phases and the aging times on the lees. Manual rémuage, careful study of the liqueur dosage at each disgorgement and resting times and final refinement, at least 6 months after dégorgement.
