In the summer of 2008, Alvaro Pecorari embarked on an experiment – and a test. The Valle dell’Isonzo, that valley between Friuli and Slovenia through which the river of the same name flows with its characteristically clear, alpine water, had long since established itself as one of the most compelling white wine regions in north-eastern Italy. But Metodo Classico? That was new territory, a commitment: that this land, with its distinctive minerality, its continental-Adriatic climate and its Chardonnay, is capable of producing something extraordinary in this way too. 100% Chardonnay, cultivated using integrated pest management without herbicides. The base wine is crafted with the care that has characterised the estate since its founding by Alvaro Pecorari’s father, Alvaro. Then comes patience: more than 40 months of yeast ageing – well above the legal minimum, with the conviction that finesse takes time. Extra Brut – no dosage sugar to mask the acidity, only what the wine itself brings.

Bright straw yellow with golden glints, fine and persistent bubbles. The bouquet is elegant and complex, displaying great finesse – citrus, white flowers, fresh brioche, and a hint of minerality from the Isonzo terroir. Harmonious and precise on the palate, supported by excellent acidity, with a long, clean, salty final. Dom Jurosa extra brut – the challenge that Pecorari took on in 2008. SUPERIORE.DE
