NV Banfi Metodo Classico Brut

Aromas of green apple, white peach, toasted brioche, and hazelnut lead into a fine, energetic palate. Flavors of citrus zest, pear, and subtle crushed stone join persistent bubbles and lively acidity through a crisp, dry finish.

Hand-harvested Pinot Noir and Chardonnay undergo primary fermentation in stainless steel before bottling with yeast for secondary fermentation. The wine ages on lees in the bottle for a minimum of 24 to 30 months before disgorgement, developing autolytic depth while retaining freshness.

Grapes come from high-altitude estate vineyards in southern Piedmont. Rooted in calcareous clay soils, the vines benefit from strong diurnal temperature swings that preserve natural acidity and build focused fruit structure.
