Alberto and
his passion
The soul of Alberto Massucco is revealed where the archetypes of the warrior, the wise man and the madman play the game of discovery, astonishment and magic, giving life to a new line of champagne that is all French in form and substance, but with an imperceptible and elusive Italian flair.
The Perfect Match
Alberto and Erick, two gentlemen who crossed each other’s paths and dream of achieving great feats. In 2018, they started a full-fledged collaboration driven by the passion of
Alberto on the one hand, and Erick’s savoir faire on the other, which indissolubly marked a long-lasting friendship. Friendship is alchemy: first Erick, then his sons, have transformed the most intimate ideas and tastes of Alberto into his champagne.
The CHAMPAGNES
ALBERTO MASSUCCO CHAMPAGNE
AMC 00
Grapes
50% Chardonnay • 30% Pinot Noir • 20% Meunier
The “entry” champagne of the Maison, a pas dosé made with the 3 main grape varieties, with a greater presence of Chardonnay that ensures elegance. It is the fruit of the first pressing combined with reserve wines, which are able to give energy and creaminess. To the taste, it is characterised by an aromatic profile reminiscent of lime, ginger, candied citron, honey and saffron. It enchants with bursts of luminous freshness, intense savouriness and mineral spirals. Lively and vibrant involvement that you can’t say enough.

amc 02
Grapes
50% Chardonnay • 30% Pinot Noir • 20% Meunier
Blending, vinification and ageing are the same of AMC 00, but it is richer and more enveloping thanks to its 2 g/l dosage, which allows to release those hints of yellow fruits mixed with creamy notes of patisserie. Such precious harmony is enriched by a wonderful alchemy of herbaceous notes. Opulence, freshness and generous elegance are the distinctive traits of this cuvée.

mon idée de cramant 2014
Grapes
100% Chardonnay
100% Chardonnay grapes exclusively from the Grand Cru village of Cramant in the Côte des Blancs. Complexity and territoriality of great prestige underline its purest essence. 2014 harvest, this champagne was not dosed precisely to retain its natural richness of detail, as well as the vibrant freshness of its taste and olfactory notes that persist like a gothic caress. A unique Champagne, Alberto Massucco’s masterpiece, able to embrace all the senses thanks to its softness, which is complemented by the memories and sensations of Burgundy overlooking the Champagne region. Gold is the ouverture to an intense fragrance combined with a light touch of oxidation that amplifies hints of pastry, sweet exotic fruit, candied citron and yellow wintersweet flowers, closing with a note of roasted mocha. After resting 10 years on yeast lees, this champagne is chiselled to the tiniest detail, and seduces from the first meeting with a slow crescendo of pleasure, sip after sip.

100%
Grapes
100% Chardonnay
A Chardonnay obtained from Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. This champagne is fermented naturally together with vins de réserve. It enchants with its freshness, finesse and minerality.
To the taste, it opens with notes of fresh citrus and Mediterranean herbs, slowly releasing a hint of cedar and thyme. It masterfully captures the fragrance of the delicate white flowers of pittosporum and gardenia. A journey that leads, through its fine perlage, towards fragrant notes of bread and brioche, which are softly released while maintaining its vivacity and persistence.
