Sandro de Bruno Durello Metodo Classico Monti Lessini 100 Months Extra Brut Sparkling Wine
This rare and evolved Extra Brut Metodo Classico (Italian for the traditional method or Champagne method) is a special sparkling wine, offering a complex and rich flavor profile that tastes of caramel, crème brûlée, and warm croissant, followed by savory yeast and a hint of burnt caramel.
This wine is crafted mainly from the indigenous Durella grape on volcanic soil, which contributes exceptional saline and flinty mineral notes. An amazing 100 months of aging (8 years) on the lees gives it an incredibly fine, persistent perlage and a pleasantly dry, fresh finish.
It is markedly the most intense of its 36 month aged and 60 month aged counterparts, creating an amazing tip-top expression of the durello grape. You can try all three of these wines for yourself in the Durello Flight Set!
Tastes Like: Creme Brulee
Farming & Winemaking Highlights: Sustainable Winery | Volcanic Soil | Bottle Fermented | Champagne Style
Fun Facts: Born from volcanic soils at a dramatic 600 meters above sea level near the picturesque city of Verona.
