Irpinia Sparkling Wine "Rinascita" DOC - Contrada Winery

Rinascita is the first Spumante Metodo Classico from the Vini Contrada winery born in a difficult moment in our lives and that of the entire population due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has particularly affected our family, our loved ones, and it is to Them and with all of Them that we want to BE REBORN like the phoenix rises from its ashes. The 100% Fiano sparkling base is obtained from a light pressing of the whole bunches from which 50% of the free-run must is obtained, then statically decanted. Through the inoculation of selected yeasts, the first alcoholic fermentation is started in steel tanks for about 20 days at a controlled temperature of 12/14 °C. This is followed by the second fermentation, the so-called refermentation in the bottle for 36 months.

Dedicated to those who are no longer with us.
