Why buy it?
If you’re looking for a sparkling wine that’s not only elegant but deeply rooted in its territory, the Metodo Classico Le Berne is a perfect choice. This is not just another spumante—it’s an authentic expression of Montepulciano, its native Prugnolo Gentile grape, and the artisanal philosophy of Le Berne. Unlike many sparkling wines based on Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, this bottle speaks of place, identity, and intention. It’s vibrant, citrusy, and mineral-driven, coming from a unique vineyard located in a cool, north-facing valley with clay-limestone soils. A sparkling wine that truly reflects Sangiovese in its crispest, most sapid form.

History
The project began as an experiment in 2020: vinifying Prugnolo grapes from a vineyard usually used for Rosso di Montepulciano. The late-ripening fruit, high in acidity and fresh red fruit character, seemed perfect for sparkling. Only 150 bottles were made that year—but the results were so promising that in 2022, production was scaled up to around 1000 bottles. Every step is done by hand: early morning harvest to preserve freshness, ultra-short skin contact with dry ice, cold settling, spontaneous fermentation in steel, no added sulfites, and 24 months on lees in bottle. The final wine is undisgorged and zero dosage, preserving its full purity and terroir expression.
