The Spumante Bianca Brut is a classic method produced by the Fongaro farm, its grapes are harvested by hand from the beginning of September, and transported in boxes which are then kept in cells for cooling the grapes before pressing. The technique used is a soft pressing at 10°/12°C. The first fermentation takes place in thermo-controlled tanks with a temperature that fluctuates around 15°/18°C. Maturation takes place in the bottle on its lees for a period of no less than 55 months. At the end of the maturation the bottles are rotated by hand every day for about 30 days at the end of which the disgorgement is carried out.
