Piemonte DOC Metodo Classico Extra Brut – Bel Colle | The Art of Piedmontese Sparkling Wine

Bel Colle’s Piemonte DOC Metodo Classico Extra Brut is a refined expression of Piedmontese sparkling tradition, crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in the region’s rolling hills. This wine combines elegance, terroir and winemaking precision.

Produced with the traditional method (Metodo Classico), it undergoes bottle fermentation and extended lees aging, enhancing its aromatic finesse and depth. The Extra Brut dosage, with minimal residual sugar, highlights the wine’s purity and precision.

It shows a brilliant straw yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is subtle and refined, offering notes of white-fleshed fruit, citrus zest, and a hint of bread crust. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and mineral-driven, with a long, harmonious finish.

Excellent for sophisticated aperitifs, special celebrations or seafood-based dinners, it also pairs well with risottos and white meats thanks to its acidity and structure. A versatile, authentic sparkling wine, perfect from the first toast to the last course.

Bel Colle Winery – Verduno, Piedmont

TRADITION AND INNOVATION IN THE HEART OF THE LANGHE

Founded in 1974 in Verduno by Franco and Carlo Pontiglione with Giuseppe Priola, Bel Colle Winery stands today as a benchmark in Piedmontese winemaking. Since 2015, it's been part of the Bosio family legacy—four generations of winemakers blending tradition with modern precision.

Its 10 hectares of vineyards stretch across Verduno, the Langhe, and Asti hills. Bel Colle is best known for its Barolo DOCG from the prestigious Monvigliero and Bussia crus, and for producing Verduno Pelaverga DOC, a fragrant red from a rare native grape.

Led by winemakers Luca Bosio and Mario Albrito, the winery embraces sustainable farming, using only organic compounds and hand-harvesting. Fermentations rely on native yeasts, and aging occurs in French and Slavonian oak, highlighting each wine’s varietal character and terroir.
