The grapes for this sparkling Alba Spumante are the same as for Elba Bianco, namely Trebbiano Toscana, locally called Procanico (50-100%), Ansonica and/or Vermentino (0-50%), together with other local green grapes (0-20%).
The production method is natural fermentation (Metodo Classico or the Champagne method) and the result is a fresh sparkling wine with a persistent foam and bubbles.
This is a light straw yellow white wine with a delicate, delightful aroma, that is served locally as an aperitif.
Calabria has a long and proud history of winemaking. Legend has it that the vineyards which covered the coastal hills of the region inspired the ancient Greeks to mint their coins with the title 'Oenotria', the land of wine.
