Menegotti Spumante Methode Classico Extra Dry

Menegotti Spumante Metodo Classico Extra Dry is a refined sparkling wine from the hills of Veneto, crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Garganega, Malvasia, and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo. This combination of grape varieties creates a layered and expressive character, where freshness, aromatic richness, and elegance come together.

The wine is produced using the traditional metodo classico, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. This artisanal process gives the spumante its fine, persistent mousse and contributes to the development of complex aromas. During aging on the lees, additional depth emerges, with subtle notes of brioche, lightly toasted bread, and a hint of nuttiness.

The Extra Dry designation refers to a style with a touch of residual sugar. This creates a softer, rounder mouthfeel without losing the wine’s refreshing backbone. Chardonnay provides structure and elegance, Garganega adds minerality and finesse, while Malvasia and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo contribute aromatic lift and a gentle fruit-driven character.

In the glass, the wine appears bright and lively, with a delicate stream of fine bubbles. The aromatic profile opens with notes of ripe apple, pear, and citrus, followed by floral nuances and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, where fresh acidity and gentle sweetness work in harmony.

What distinguishes this Extra Dry style is its balance between vibrancy and softness. The light residual sugar rounds the edges and enhances approachability, while the fine mousse and crisp acidity maintain tension and precision. The result is an elegant and inviting sparkling wine that combines tradition and versatility, gradually revealing its layered personality with each sip.
