THE FIRST CLASSIC METHOD SPARKLING WINE SIGNED DELEA

Spumante Metodo Classico Diadema is made with 100% Ticino Chardonnay grapes from the Quartino vineyards, harvested in 2019, to create a high-quality wine through a carefully followed artisanal process.

Here are the main steps:

• Harvest and pressing: Chardonnay grapes are harvested in late August from the Quartino vineyards. After harvest, a soft pressing takes place to extract the must from the grapes.
• First fermentation: The must obtained from pressing undergoes first fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks, a process that converts the sugars in the must into alcohol.
• Frothing: In March 2020, frothing is performed. The yeasts consume the sugar, producing carbon dioxide that gives the desired internal pressure, bringing the pressure of the bottle, with a crown cap, to 6.5 bar.
• Maturation sur lattes: After the second fermentation, the bottles are placed horizontally for an aging period from March 2020 to January 2023. During this period, the wine develops the desired aromatic complexity and characteristics.
• Remuage: To prepare the wine for disgorgement, bottles are placed on pupitres and remuage is carried out, which involves the progressive rotation of bottles on pupitres. After about 3 weeks of remuage, the bottles are placed vertically, allowing the yeast to reach the neck of the bottle and settle in the bidule (a plastic insert located in the crown cap where residue is deposited and then removed during disgorgement)
• Disgorgement: To prepare the wine for marketing, we performed disgorgement in April. The disgorging process involves removing the frozen cork, allowing the yeasts deposited in the neck of the bottle to be expelled by internal pressure, leaving the wine clear and free of sediment.
