Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut Alcohol: 12.5% vol Format: 750 ml Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut is a refined and elegant sparkling wine; it appears in a deep straw yellow color, with continuous and very fine perlage. On the nose, our Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut is characterized by a rich and complex bouquet with evident notes of pastry, toasting, and candied citrus. On the palate, Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut reveals opulence, with a remarkable structure, yet extremely fine and elegant at the same time, supported by a sapid backbone that makes it long and persistent. Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut, from Federico II Rex Sicilie, thus reads the label of our Millesimato. Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut is the most "important", a story of successes and international awards. The "our King" of classic method sparkling wines. As a seal of the preciousness of the contents of the bottle, a bronze reproduction of the coin of Federico II is hand-applied to each bottle of Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut that leaves our cellars. Clones of Chardonnay preserved aimed at the production of base sparkling wines. Vineyards with over 30 years in plots characterized by a high clay component and strong limestone in the Milici area, contained yield, and meticulous care in choosing the harvest time. Aging: This extraordinary cuvée is the result of a careful selection of different base sparkling wines remaining on the lees for no less than seven years, before becoming Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut. Sensory notes: Ripe fruit, complex, well blended with evident hints of pastry and candied fruits. On the palate, Spumante Federico II Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut is dry, although soft and creamy. Characteristics: GRAPE: Chardonnay SOIL TYPE: Milici, plateau of marly origin with a high clay component, strongly calcareous TRAINING SYSTEM: Tent and guyot HARVEST TIME: Early August HARVEST METHOD: Manual in 14 kg crates VINIFICATION: Whole cluster pressing with enhancement of only the first pressings, fermentation at controlled temperature, aging of the bases partly in steel and partly in oak barrels. MATURATION: The cuvée, with the addition of "liqueur de tirage", is started to take on sparkle. The bottles have been stacked where they remained for about 6/7 years to mature on the lees. ALCOHOL: 12.5% vol DESCRIPTION: The cuvée that gives life to our Millesimato represents more than any other wine of the company the perfect synthesis of the agronomic path carried out, over more than forty years, on Chardonnay clones. For this complex wine, both from a technical and sensory point of view, and with impressive aging potential, plants with different genetic profiles have been selected, cultivated with differentiated training forms, with the aim of obtaining well-developed levels of native acidity and a correct sugar content, as well as well-defined olfactory and taste profiles. A FAMILY STORY: For the Milazzo family, producing wines is a true "family matter" that has made them the first producers of classic method sparkling wines in Sicily. A journey that continues in the spirit of enhancing the corporate tradition, with Giuseppina Milazzo and Saverio Lo Leggio, a couple in life, united in the desire to give continuity to Milazzo production. Among the first Sicilian vintners, between the late seventies and early eighties, to highlight the vinification of Sicilian native grape varieties. This has allowed, over the years, together with other excellent names, the recovery of the winemaking tradition of the island without neglecting experimentation and innovation, which has led, among others, to the adoption in Sicily of Chardonnay grapes with the precise intent to produce a great Sicilian Classic Method sparkling wine. A SUSTAINABLE COMPANY: ISO and Organic certifications. Being a sustainable company means accepting the challenge of continuous change, working well today to produce better tomorrow. Currently, it is also involved in the program for the analysis of the carbon footprint across the entire production chain. We want to guarantee the quality of our work through a path that effectively combines low environmental impact cultivation techniques and innovation in the various stages of production of our wines and classic method sparkling wines. Our Steps Towards SUSTAINABILITY: Early '900 – Maria Costanza – family ancestor – a strong and determined woman dedicated herself personally to grape cultivation and winemaking; she oversaw all stages of processing. A small cellar in Campobello di Licata, but already then the wine produced was highly appreciated by the local clientele. In the post-war years, the production of wine grapes was complemented by that of table grapes. At the end of the sixties, new vineyards for wine grape production replaced table grape cultivation, thus beginning a new phase in the family history. The Azienda Agricola G. Milazzo was born not simply to make wine and become a profitable business but above all to be a company dedicated to the obsessive pursuit of quality and continuous improvement. 1982: registration of the trademark "Martin Pescatore," which had already been used from the post-war years to the early sixties for the marketing of table grapes in international markets. 2004: first certification: UNI ENI ISO 14001 for the activation of the Environmental Management System. 2007: the long-standing choice not to use synthetic chemicals is beginning to be certified. This year begins the mandatory conversion period that will lead to organic product certification to be completed in 2012. 2008: certification UNI EN ISO 9001 for the Quality Management System and UNI EN ISO 22005 for the traceability of the production supply chain, which covers fertilization, pruning, and all work in the vineyards, wine production in the cellar, and deliveries to customers. 2012: Organic certification, which represented both a goal and at the same time a new starting point for our production path that opens us to new challenges. Our Martin Pescatore brand is now accompanied by the European organic brand. A journey that began in 2007 and concluded in 2012, with the acquisition of the definitive certificate (Certificate n. 2500/I rev. 02). A commitment that concerns not only our 75 hectares of vineyards but the entire Milazzo property, which now counts about 110 overall hectares. Every single parcel of the company, even if not planted, is already certified or in the process of "conversion" to ORGANIC CERTIFICATION. A fundamental choice. The only one that allows us, for the future, to continue planting vineyards in compliance with our motto: We guarantee the genuineness of our wines. 2013: a new challenge opens. The one to reduce CO2 (carbon) emissions at every stage of production (from the field to the consumer). We thus decide to adhere to the Ita.Ca. protocol for the development of a carbon footprint calculation tool, an international “calculator”, already used in Italy, Australia, California, and New Zealand, specially adapted to the Italian production model of vine and wine by researchers and technicians of the SATA group and the University of Milan, in collaboration with Australian colleagues. 2013: participation in the call issued by the Ministry of the Environment for the analysis of the carbon footprint in mass consumption products. Another completed step. Today we are among the 95 Italian companies from different production sectors, and the only Sicilian winery, admitted to the program. (http://www.minambiente.it/pagina/il-bando-pubblico-2013) 2014: doing business, consuming and polluting less, represents a complex challenge from both a scientific and organizational point of view. But we are, first and foremost, men and women of the land, and we are convinced that we have only one choice: to protect the environment so that it can continue to provide us with healthy and good fruits. Within the project of the Ministry, we are now engaged in obtaining the ISO/TS 14067 Carbon footprint product certification (Certification system for the methodology to quantify the product's carbon footprint) which will validate the method with which we are collecting and analyzing data on our CO2 emissions, so that we can then identify the best technical solutions for the effective reduction of our “Carbon footprint”.
