Metodo Classico Extra Brut Solera
The Product in Brief:
The Extra Brut SOLERA is a Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine made from a cuvée of wines from different vintages, with the precious addition of a reserve obtained using the Cuvée Perpetua method, also known as Solera . Marco Buvoli conceived it like the artisanal Champagnes he loves most: rich, complex bubbles that can accompany an entire meal, offering a thrill even in a slowly warming glass. The older reserve wines give the Solera intense, spicy, citrusy, and vinous aromas at the same time. During the secondary fermentation, the wine is neither clarified nor filtered, and even the liqueur remains unfiltered to maintain the sensation of the cuvée perpetua. The color shifts toward amber tones, while on the palate, a lively and engaging acidity supports a full, deep structure.
As sommelier André Senoner , Italian Ambassador of Pinot Noir 2021, explains: “ The nose offers an intense impact of orange blossom and dried aromatic herbs, followed by notes of slightly oxidized rennet apple, candied orange, and citrus zest. The finish reveals smoky notes of burnt straw over chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is explosive in its nuanced balance between freshness and savory flavors: it moves between aromatic herbs, cedar and bergamot peel, and spices. A slight astringency comes from the presence of tannins in the aftertaste, with a push from the more pronounced oxidative and wild notes. A very gastronomic sparkling wine with a taut and persistent finish. ”
