Carlo Menale

Signature

The signature wines under Carlo Menale stay within the Asprinio register while marking out distinct forms of expression. Asprinio di Aversa Dop 2024 states the essentials plainly: origin, style, and vintage, with the full designation keeping the wine anchored to its territorial identity. Asprinio frizzante “Mimì kanti'njere” brings a lighter, more playful cadence to the same grape. The frizzante format places it in a gentler sparkling category, and the name adds a memorable note without moving it away from the core Asprinio line. Asprinio Spumante Brut “Jr” shifts into a firmer sparkling register. The Brut designation signals a dry style, while “Jr” gives the bottle a compact, contemporary marker inside a format built on precision. Asprinio VSQ Brut closes the set by reinforcing the same emphasis on sparkling Asprinio. The repeated Brut styling across the range points to a consistent discipline: freshness, exactness, and attention to how the grape carries in different effervescent forms. Read together, the wines give a narrow but complete picture of Carlo Menale’s approach. The range does not scatter across varieties or categories; it returns to Asprinio di Aversa in multiple formats, using different labels and sparkling styles to show how much can be drawn from a single grape when the focus stays fixed.
