Traditional Method Extra Brut – Sparkling Wine from Lake Garda

Late August, 5 AM.
While most people are still asleep, someone is already walking through the vineyards, hand-harvesting Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio grapes for this Traditional Method Extra Brut sparkling wine from Lake Garda.

Why so early?

Because the cool air of dawn preserves freshness, acidity, and aromatic precision. And when we first tasted this wine, we could immediately feel the difference.

The tasting that won us over

First impression: a bright straw-yellow color in the glass. Clean, luminous, elegant.

Then come the bubbles — fine, persistent, delicate. A refined perlage that rises slowly and gracefully, immediately revealing that this is not your average industrial sparkling wine.

On the nose, it opens with vibrant aromas of ripe apricot, fresh pineapple and citrus zest. Everything feels precise and natural. Nothing exaggerated, nothing artificial.

Then comes the sip.

This is where the magic happens.

Dry and elegant, with the refined tension typical of an Extra Brut sparkling wine. Creamy without being heavy, fresh without being aggressive. The finish is long, harmonious and incredibly clean, leaving you with one simple thought:

“Just one more glass.”

The method behind the elegance

When we asked how this Lake Garda sparkling wine is made, the answer was simple: patience and craftsmanship.

• Hand harvest at dawn to preserve freshness and acidity

• Gentle pressing using only the finest juice

• Slow fermentation at controlled temperature

• Secondary fermentation in bottle — the authentic Traditional Method

• Bottle aging on lees for complexity and finesse

No shortcuts.
No industrial tricks.
Just time, precision, and respect for the wine.

And you can taste it in every sip.thod behind the elegance

Why this sparkling wine stands out

At 12.5% ABV and with vibrant natural acidity, this Extra Brut offers the perfect balance between elegance and drinkability.

Unlike overly sweet sparkling wines, this one stays crisp, refined and gastronomic. It’s the kind of premium Italian sparkling wine that works beautifully both as an aperitif and throughout dinner.

How we enjoy it

Honestly? This has become one of our favorite bottles for Friday evenings.

You open it, pour a glass, and suddenly everything feels lighter.

Perfect with:

• seafood risotto

• pasta with clams

• grilled sea bass or sea bream

• vegetarian dishes and grilled vegetables

• aperitivo with friends at sunset

Serving temperature: 6–8°C.

Fresh, but never ice cold — otherwise you lose all the subtle aromas that make this sparkling wine special.

Why we recommend it

We’ve tasted many Traditional Method sparkling wines over the years. Some too sweet, others too sharp, many simply forgettable.

This one is different.

Balanced. Elegant. Authentic.

More than just sparkling wine, it tells the story of dawn harvests overlooking Lake Garda, careful artisanal production, and the patience required to let fine bubbles develop naturally inside the bottle.

No compromises.
Just beautifully made Italian sparkling wine.

And yes — you can taste the difference.
