Irpinia Sparkling Wine "Rinascita" DOC - Contrada Winery

Dedicated to those who are no longer with us.  Rinascita is the first Classic Method Spumante from Vini Contrada, created during a difficult time in our lives and for everyone due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has hit our family and loved ones hardest, and it is to them and with them that we wish to BE REBORN, like the phoenix rising from its ashes. The base of Irpinia Spumante "Rinascita" DOC is 100% Fiano, obtained by lightly pressing the whole bunches, yielding 50% of the free-run must, which is then statically decanted. Selected yeasts are added, triggering the first alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks for approximately 20 days at a controlled temperature of 12-14°C. This is followed by the second fermentation, the so-called refermentation in the bottle, which lasts 36 months.
