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.”

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.
