The Classic Method Brut Blanc de Blancs “Natusia” confirms the great sparkling wine tradition of Piedmont, which already in the second half of the 19th century began producing the first bottles of Classic Method following the great successes of Champagne. Cascina Pastori Colombo is located in Bubbio, in the beautiful hilly area of Alta Langa, which is gaining attention from enthusiasts as one of the most interesting areas for Classic Method production. Vocation lands, the good altitudes and significant temperature variations allow for the maturation of grapes with refined and fresh aromatic profiles, particularly suitable for sparkling wine production. The vines are cultivated at 250 meters above sea level, and at the end of the harvest, a soft pressing of the bunches is carried out. The free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, and the second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Classic Method with a 24-month aging period on the lees.
