ROSSO BRUT METODO CLASSICO 36 MESI

The Rosso Brut Metodo Classico 36 Mesi of the Vernero estate is among the most original wines in the entire UniqueWines portfolio — a sparkling red produced through the traditional method from the Vermentino Bianco base wine, aged for three full years on its own lees in bottle before disgorgement. A sparkling red wine produced by the Metodo Classico in Tuscany from Vernero's indigenous varieties is a rarity of genuine note — a creative act of the same independence and territorial conviction that has characterised the family's approach to winemaking for over a century and a half.

The production follows the classical template: the Vermentino Bianco base wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle, creating the fine perlage that characterises traditional method sparkling wines, and then rests for thirty-six months on its lees — three full years of contact that develops the autolytic complexity, the toasty depth, and the structural integration that distinguish this wine from any simpler sparkling production. The three years of lees ageing impart to a red sparkling wine a character quite different from what the same period achieves in white — the fruit and tannin of the Vermentino Nero's character combining with the autolytic development in ways that are genuinely unusual and genuinely compelling.

The result is a wine described as original and fascinating to taste — qualities that apply with particular accuracy to a wine that occupies a genuinely unusual position in the Italian sparkling wine landscape. This is not a wine produced for market convention but for the estate's own convictions about what their territory's indigenous varieties are capable of expressing in this unexpected format.

For the most adventurous and most curious wine enthusiasts in the UniqueWines clientele, the Vernero Rosso Brut Metodo Classico 36 Mesi is a discovery of genuine value.
