Aristos Zero Metodo Classico was born in the heart of South Tyrol, one of Italy's most fascinating wine-growing regions. In the mountains of the Isarco Valley. The grapes selected for this sparkling wine come from the vineyards surrounding the Sabiona monastery, a place steeped in history and spirituality. Here, the gravelly alluvial soils, rich in diorite, and the altitude, ranging from 550 to 700 metres, give the pure Sylvaner grapes a unique minerality and freshness. The climate here is cool and sunny and helps slow down the ripening of the fruit, resulting in wines with lively acidity and intense aromas. The South Tyrolean aromatic Sylvaner is a grape variety characterised by great versatility, perfect for the production of high-quality sparkling wines. In fact, this grape variety gives the wine fruity, floral and mineral notes, which combine perfectly with the freshness and complexity of the classic method. The grapes are harvested by hand and subjected to a gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in wood, to preserve the freshness and enrich the aromatic bouquet. The base wine is then re-fermented in the bottle according to the traditional method, with ageing on the lees for at least 36 months. Brilliant straw yellow in colour with golden hues, it releases an intense and complex bouquet on the nose, with hints of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, bread crust and mineral notes. In the mouth, it is creamy and mineral, with lively acidity and a long, lingering finish. A sparkling wine of great complexity and longevity, it can be drunk young, to appreciate its freshness and liveliness, or it can rest quietly in the cellar for several years, developing evolved and complex notes. Excellent as an elegant aperitif, it goes well with raw fish dishes, shellfish and fresh cheeses.
