Hidden Tuscany Rating
Spumante Brut from Fattoria del Cerro, in Montepulciano: Chardonnay using the Charmat method, 24 months of refermentation in the bottle... wait, no—24 months of secondary fermentation and serving at 6-8 °C for aperitifs and fish. No appellation or distinction cited, and the link between the Chardonnay and the local terroir remains to be demonstrated.
Montepulciano area named and Chardonnay specified, but an international grape variety with no demonstrated link to the local terroir; no DOCG or DOC appellation cited.
No awards or guides mentioned, producer not attested by an external text; absence of information, not a flaw.
At €18.15 instead of €19.92, a genuine strikethrough price; spumante made by the Charmat method with 24 months of refermentation, a consistent price without being a bargain.
Specific pairings (aperitifs, antipasti, fish), fresh and fruity profile described, serving at 6-8 °C indicated; clear versatility but no mention of ageing potential.
Estate named and located in Montepulciano, Charmat vinification, 3 months of ageing on lees and 24 months of refermentation specified; organic not mentioned.

Comment on noteThe wine
Picture yourself in the heart of Tuscany, the sun caressing the vines. Today, I'm taking you to discover a sparkling gem, a wine that fizzes with originality and character, far off the beaten track. This Spumante Brut from Fattoria del Cerro is a true revelation, an invitation to celebration and to the Italian sweet life.
Nestled in the rolling landscapes of Montepulciano, the Fattoria del Cerro estate, renowned for its red wines, dared to venture into Spumante Metodo Classico. It's a first for them, a bold gamble that showcases the finest white grapes from their vineyards. It is here, in this rich and generous land, that Chardonnay finds an unexpected expression, transformed with mastery into fine, elegant bubbles.
The vinification of this Spumante is a precise art. The grapes are gently pressed, then a slow, controlled fermentation, between 12° and 14°C, preserves all the aromatic concentration. After three months of ageing on fine lees, the wine is bottled for a refermentation that lasts at least 24 months. It is this patience that forges its personality. When tasting, you will be charmed by its intense straw-yellow color with golden highlights. On the nose, floral notes mingle with subtle aromas of bread crust, a complexity that awakens curiosity. On the palate, it offers a full flavor, supported by a fine, persistent perlage, a fruity freshness that invites the next sip.
This Spumante Brut is the ideal companion for your moments of conviviality. I see it perfectly as an aperitif, its delicate bubbles preparing the palate with elegance. It pairs wonderfully with varied antipasti, whether based on fish, crunchy vegetables, or fresh cheeses. Picture it alongside seafood, such as shellfish, or accompanying light pasta and risottos, always based on fish or vegetables. It is a wine that celebrates lightness and finesse, a touch of Tuscany that sparkles in your glass. Let yourself be tempted by this sensory experience, you won't regret it.
