Punta Crena Mataossu Spumante Brut is a 2021 sparkling wine from Liguria, Italy, made entirely from the Mataossu grape. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, and the wine goes through malolactic fermentation. It then spends eight to ten months on the lees, with weekly batonnage.
Punta Crena is the Ruffino family's estate in Varigotti, on the Ligurian coast, where the family has made wine for more than 500 years. Besides Mataossu, they make Pigato, Vermentino, Rossese, Lumassina and Cruvin. Their vineyards sit on terraces in the narrow strip between the sea and the Alps, at 350 meters above sea level, so the harvest is done by hand in small baskets. The grapes go to an old cellar dug into the rock, where they are pressed gently and slowly.
