Milazzo Classico Brut

In a unique and inimitable terroir, at 400 m. above sea level, in the heart of Sicily, are the 75 hectares of vineyards owned by the Milazzo family, where the climatic characteristics of the hill and the morphology of the land combine with the beneficial influences of a typically Mediterranean climate, with mild summers and mild winters; a constant and light breeze, which favors the day-night temperature range and good ventilation of the plant. A territory characterized by a particular concentration of morphologically varied soils: from dark clays integrated by organic matter to white calcareous ones; some endowed with a constant and homogeneous fertility, the others ideal for guaranteeing rich and complex aromatic profiles to the wines. With a history that spans five generations and continues in the name of the enhancement of the company tradition, thanks to the commitment of Giuseppina Milazzo and Saverio Lo Leggio, united in the desire to give continuity to the virtuous evolution of the family business, the most interesting aspect of the way of "making wine" is represented by tireless work in the vineyard. The natural improvement of the vines is the result of a technical path that has been going on for over fifty years, which made them the first producers of sparkling wines with the classic method in the land of Sicily, and the first Sicilian winemakers, between the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties, to enhance the vinification from Sicilian indigenous vines. Organic and sustainable. The BIO certification seals the commitment they have always put in place as winegrowers to produce quality and is also testimony to the responsibility they feel they are guardians of the environment in which they operate, with the specific intent of producing a great Sicilian Classic Method sparkling wine. .
