Vanzini’s Aiace Metodo Classico is a highly prized Italian sparkling wine, produced with the traditional champenoise method, which enhances its complexity and elegance. This wine, born from the vineyards of Oltrepò Pavese, represents excellence in the production of Italian bubbles, thanks to the expert selection of grapes and careful work in the cellar. Aiace Metodo Classico is produced exclusively with Pinot Noir grapes, a black grape variety of Burgundian origin, which in Oltrepò Pavese finds an ideal terroir to best express its characteristics. The Vanzini vineyards are located in hilly areas, with calcareous and clayey soils, which give the wine a good minerality and a strong personality. The vinification of Aiace Metodo Classico strictly follows the traditional champenoise method: after alcoholic fermentation in steel, the base wine is bottled with the addition of selected yeasts and sugar. A second fermentation in the bottle will follow, during which the bubbles will form. The long aging on the yeasts (sur lies) gives the wine complexity and aromatic depth.

Bright straw yellow color, with golden reflections that intensify with aging on the yeasts. Fine and persistent perlage, evidence of natural carbonation and long maturation on the yeasts. Complex and enveloping aroma, with notes of ripe white pulp fruit (golden apple, Williams pear), bread crust, yeast, vanilla and delicate floral scents. Fresh, balanced and savoury taste, with a fine and persistent bubble that envelops the palate. The same olfactory sensations are found on the palate, with a good structure and a long persistence. Aiace Metodo Classico is a versatile wine, perfect for accompanying aperitifs, refined appetizers, fish dishes, shellfish and soft cheeses. It pairs particularly well with Italian cuisine, thanks to its freshness and flavor.
