Monsupello Oltrepo Pavese Metodo Classico Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut

Monsupello Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut is a refined sparkling wine made entirely from Pinot Noir, showing the elegance and structure that have made Oltrepò Pavese one of Italy’s most respected areas for traditional-method wines. With its Extra Brut style and classic bottle fermentation, it offers a crisp, precise expression that balances freshness with depth.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in colour with fine, persistent bubbles, this Blanc de Noirs opens with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, green apple, and subtle notes of brioche and almond. On the palate it is dry, lively, and focused, combining bright acidity with a creamy mousse and a mineral-driven finish that underlines its Pinot Noir character. The wine’s structure and freshness give it excellent balance, while its traditional-method complexity suggests good short- to medium-term ageing potential. Over time, it may develop more nuanced pastry, hazelnut, and yeast-driven notes.

Production
Produced in the Oltrepò Pavese area of Lombardy, where calcareous and clay-rich soils provide ideal conditions for Pinot Noir, this wine reflects a cool-climate terroir well suited to sparkling wine production. The grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve acidity and aromatic finesse, then vinified using the Metodo Classico, with secondary fermentation taking place in bottle and extended lees ageing to build texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
Excellent as an aperitif, this wine also pairs beautifully with oysters, sushi, shellfish, tempura, creamy risottos, and light white meat dishes. Serve well chilled, ideally at 6–8°C, and consider a brief decant only if the wine seems particularly closed on opening, though this is generally not necessary for sparkling wines.

Producer
Monsupello is a respected family-run producer in Lombardy with a strong reputation for quality-focused wines, particularly in Oltrepò Pavese. Over the years, the estate has become known for its commitment to traditional methods and for helping showcase the potential of Pinot Noir and classic sparkling wine in one of Italy’s most important yet understated wine regions.
