The "Brutto" by Aldo Viola is a sparkling wine that comes from grapes of Catarratto with the method of fermentation in the bottle. The grapes come from vineyards situated at about 400 meters altitude and cultivated without the use of any chemical or synthetic substance. Manual and selected harvest, followed by crushing and spontaneous fermentation in steel. Subsequently the wine is bottled with must from the same wine. With the first warm springs the refermentation is triggered with the formation of bubbles. Aldo Viola's "Brutto" is a wine with a beautiful freshness and minerality, with a velvety bubble that fills the palate. Soothing and juicy, it is a wine to spend on fish preparations.
