Tenuta La Vigna "Ugo Botti" Riserva Brut Nature

Elegant. Mineral. Profoundly Italian.
From the gently rolling vineyards of Capriano del Colle in Lombardy, the family-run estate of Tenuta La Vigna honours its founder with Ugo Botti, a pendant sparkling wine of deep elegance and restraint. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay and aged for over 50 months on the lees in the classic method, this Brut Nature (zero dosage) captures the purity of terroir, technique and time.

In the glass, it glimmers with a bright golden hue and reveals a perlage of fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose the wine opens with lively aromas of lime blossom, bergamot, candied citrus peel, and subtle hints of salted hazelnut, liquorice root and anise — all grounded by a saline mineral core. The palate is crisp yet full-bodied, offering vibrant freshness, refined structure and a clean, lingering finish that echoes the elegance of its extended ageing.

For wine lovers in Ireland, this is a sparkling wine made for moments that matter. Serve it chilled as an aperitif at a special gathering, pair it with oysters or shellfish, fresh seafood risotto or white meats — its finesse and purity bring Italian refinement to Irish tables with understated luxury.

Why we love it:
We love Ugo Botti Riserva Brut Nature because it embodies the art of sparkling winemaking with clarity and grace. The extended ageing and zero dosage produce a wine that’s both rich in texture and fresh in character, making it a superb choice for those seeking sophistication without pretense. It brings a touch of Lombardy’s finest craftsmanship to Ireland, perfect for celebrations or elevated casual sipping alike.
