Rocche dei Manzoni Valentino Brut Metodo Classico Elena 2022

Rocche dei Manzoni Valentino Brut Metodo Classico Elena 2022 is a refined Piedmontese sparkling wine made in the traditional method from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It combines precision, freshness, and elegant autolysis, reflecting the producer’s commitment to crafting sparkling wines with both finesse and character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright straw-yellow colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet is lifted and expressive, with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and subtle hints of brioche and toast from bottle ageing. On the palate, it is dry, crisp, and well balanced, with lively acidity, a creamy texture, and a clean mineral finish. The Chardonnay brings freshness and definition, while Pinot Noir adds structure and depth. This is a sparkling wine that can be enjoyed now for its vibrancy, but it also has the balance to develop further complexity over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Piedmont under the Metodo Classico tradition, this wine draws on the region’s cool-climate conditions to preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are carefully selected, typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to maintain acidity and ensure the base wine has tension and purity. Secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees ageing contribute to its refined mousse, complexity, and signature autolytic notes.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally around 6–8°C, to highlight its freshness and finesse. It pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, sushi, light seafood starters, creamy risottos, and delicate fried foods. Decanting is not recommended for sparkling wine, but allowing it to breathe briefly in the glass can help the aromas open up.
