Denomination

Classic Method Sparkling Wine
Description

From a father to a son. A special version of Cuvée Augusto in which one can clearly savor the extraordinary ageing ability of this great wine.
A precious and unique cuvée aged for more than 10 years on its own yeasts.
Vinification

Whole-cluster pressing into separate lots of must, followed by controlled-temperature fermentation in large oak ovals, and large and small oak barrels.
Maturation

In large Austrian oak ovals and 225l. French barrels. In the following spring, the final cuvée is assembled, which includes a small amount of older reserve wine. The cuvée is then bottled and undergoes the secondary fermentation and ageing in the bottle for approximately 10 years. Following disgorgement, the wine ages a further six months or so.
Sensory profile

Shimmering gold in appearance, shot through with deeper gold highlights. Long-lingering bead of dense, tiny bubbles. The bouquet is pronounced and multi-layered, with fragrant tropical fruit, and a vein of minerality that provides a dynamic thrust. In the mouth, acacia honey and a hint of tropical fruit complement a creamy, silken mouthfeel. Ten years’ maturation sur lie gifts an unbelievably-complex finish that amazes with its elegance and clean-edged crispness.
Serving suggestions
