Cantina Montecchia di Crosara Monti Lessini Metodo Classico Extra Brut Collineri 2022

Cantina Montecchia di Crosara’s Monti Lessini Metodo Classico Extra Brut Collineri is a crisp and characterful sparkling wine made from 100% Durella, a native Veneto grape prized for its natural acidity and mineral drive. Crafted in the traditional method and aged for 36 months on the lees, it shows both precision and depth, reflecting the long-standing expertise of the Cantina di Soave group, whose winemaking roots date back to 1958.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this Extra Brut opens with lifted aromas of lemon balm, sage, lime and bergamot. The bouquet is aromatic yet restrained, offering a fresh, herbal elegance that feels distinctly Mediterranean while staying bright and refined. On the palate, it is fresh, supple and creamy, with a well-defined mineral backbone that gives shape and energy to the wine. The finish is pleasantly lingering and clean, with the wine’s natural tension suggesting it will continue to hold well over the next few years, though it is already very enjoyable now.

Production
Produced in Veneto from 100% Durella grown in the Monti Lessini area, this wine benefits from the grape’s mountainous origins and the region’s cool-climate conditions, which help preserve acidity and aromatic clarity. The base wine is kept in stainless steel until tirage, then undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and spends 36 months aging on the lees before release, building texture and complexity while maintaining freshness.

Food & Serving
Ideal with oysters, shellfish, sushi, light seafood dishes or delicate fried appetizers, this sparkling wine also works beautifully with fresh goat cheese and refined vegetable starters. Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C, and decanting is not necessary—just open and enjoy its lively, elegant character.
