Metodo Classico Zero - Aristos, Cantina Valle Isarco: The Elegance of the First Sylvaner Sparkling Wine

The "Metodo Classico Zero" from the Aristos line by Cantina Valle Isarco is an exclusive innovation in the Valle Isarco wine scene, being the first sparkling Metodo Classico made entirely from Sylvaner grapes. The grapes come from the sun-drenched vineyards surrounding the Sabiona Monastery, known as the "Acropolis of Tyrol," located at 550-700 meters above sea level on gravelly alluvial soils rich in diorite.

Hand harvesting ensures the selection of the best grapes, which are pressed whole to preserve their aromatic purity. The base wine ferments in stainless steel, with a small fraction in wood to maintain freshness and complexity. After bottling in spring, the wine matures for at least 36 months on the lees before disgorgement.

👀 Color: pale straw yellow with golden reflections.
👃 Aroma: refined bouquet with notes of fresh white flowers, flint, and brioche.
👅 Taste: creamy, mineral, and elegant, with a vibrant persistence.

🍽 Pairings: perfect as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with fish, seafood, shellfish, and Asian cuisine. Its freshness and complexity make it ideal for special occasions and celebrations.

The Cantina Valle Isarco, renowned for crafting high-altitude white wines, introduces the Metodo Classico Zero as a new pinnacle of excellence, combining finesse and character in every sip.

Winery Valle Isarco

The Valle Isarco winery is the youngest and smallest cooperative winery in South Tyrol and the northernmost in Italy. Their philosophy is to produce wines rich in minerality, fruitiness and uncompromising elegance. The vines grow on terraces between 250 and 1,000 meters above sea level, this means that the work is tiring and often only manual. However, working in harmony with nature and respecting scarce natural resources is crucial. Thanks to the altitude and the late harvest, the vines can take advantage of many autumn days with still high daytime temperatures and cool nights, optimal conditions for obtaining fresh, fruity and mineral wines. The winery is famous for its excellent Sylvaner, Kerner, Müller Thurgau and Grüner Veltliner and are recognizable thanks to their stylistic profile and unmistakable acidity structure and their extremely marked typicity. Quality is fundamental for the Valle Isarco winery and knows no compromises.
