The 2009 Vertical from Casa Caterina is a Classic Method pas-dosé sparkling wine produced in Monticelli Brusati (Brescia). It is made from 100% Chardonnay and undergoes extended lees ageing (about 120 months), which contributes to its depth and structure. The wine shows a fine perlage with aromas of white fruit and blossoms and an alcohol content around 12.5%.
