2021 Saccomani, Colli Piacentini Monterosso Val d’Arda Frizzante

Love and passion for the land and its vineyards are the values that have characterized the Saccomani estate since its origin in the 1940s when Giuseppe Saccomani began growing table grapes. In the mid-80s, the company changed its perspective and allocated its entire production to wine grapes. Today, the winery is managed by the 4th generation of vignerons, Claudia and Luca, who joined the company once they finished their studies in food and agriculture. In the cellar, nothing is added except very small doses of SO2 at bottling, fermentations are carried out spontaneously, and the wines are not fined or clarified. They have always made sparkling wines obtained by natural refermentation in the bottle (metodo ancestrale), which they believe allows for the most expressiveness of their local grapes and terroir. The choice to make natural wine began with Giuseppe who, in the early 2000s, completely eliminated chemicals from the vineyards, and who never used additives in the cellar. – From the importer
