"BATTISTA"
metodo classico brut
Once the Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes have been carefully selected, the traditional method of Azienda Agraria Semonte commences. Strict vinification protocols and a long stay on natural yeasts ensure the wine is suitable for every occasion. Battista, the beloved wife of Federico da Montefeltro (Duke of Urbino, born in Gubbio in 1472) and a well-known woman of the Renaissance, lent her name to this spumante.
