Passone's innovative take on Nascetta, transformed into a Metodo Classico (traditional method) sparkling wine. Made from 100% Nascetta, the base wine is vinified in stainless steel before undergoing a minimum of 36 months aging on the lees, resulting in a Brut-style sparkler with fine perlage and notable complexity.
A tribute to innovation within Piedmontese tradition — few producers dare to give Nascetta the Metodo Classico treatment, and the result is a saline, citrus-driven sparkler with real complexity.
