For connoisseurs, this type of profile is not only an olfactory pleasure, but also an indicator of terroir, winemaking methods and different grape varieties. From early harvesting to preserve acidity and freshness, to the use of fermentation techniques that emphasize the purity of the fruit, every production choice is reflected in the glass.

Whether you’re a fan of classic Chardonnays with hints of apple and pear, or vibrant Pinot Noirs with hints of cherry and raspberry, fruity flavors hide a world to explore. A perfect example is the Metodo Classico Extra Brut Rose’ by Cascina Chicco .

Characterized by a light but distinctly creamy structure, its effervescence contributes to a sensation of vivacity that further enhances the fruity aromas, making each sip an invitation to explore the nuances of red fruit and the finesse that only a Classic Method can offer. Ideal to accompany refined aperitifs, raw fish, shellfish, and even fresh cheeses, this sparkling wine is particularly suited to gastronomic moments that require a delicate and sophisticated pairing.
