THE GRAPE
The wine is made from 100% Asprinio grapes, a native Campania varietal known for its fresh and citrus-driven character.

THE WINE
I Borboni Cripto Metodo Classico Aversa Asprinio Spumante DOP 2019 is a refined sparkling wine produced using the traditional Metodo Classico method. It undergoes an extended 38 months of ageing on the lees, enhancing complexity and a creamy texture. The wine presents an intense straw yellow colour complemented by a persistent, fine perlage. On the nose, it offers vibrant aromas of white-fleshed fruits, fresh citrus like lemon, floral hints such as acacia, and delicate bread notes from ageing. The palate is dry, decisive, and well-balanced with crisp acidity and a refreshing finish, which truly reflects the unique terroir of Aversa and the finesse of Metodo Classico winemaking.

THE FOOD PAIRING
Pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, light appetisers, white meats, and fresh cheeses.
