VARIETY Chiavennasca 92%, Pignola 4%, Rossola 4%

VINIFICATION The first operation is the immediate reduction of the temperature of the grapes with dry ice. The whole grapes are then left to macerate in a cold press for a few hours. The result of the pressing is a pale pink free-run must, which is fermented at a low temperature for a few weeks in the absence of skins. This will be the sparkling base. The rest of the process faithfully traces the phases of the classic method

COLOR Typical color of onion skin. Fine and continuous perlage.

BOUQUET Intense aroma with notes of yeast, plum, walnut.

PAIRINGS A wine for the whole meal, ideal both as an aperitif, and in combination with fish and shellfish based appetizers, and as an accompaniment to the main dish of traditional cuisine: pizzoccheri

TASTE In the mouth it is dry and fragrant, with a good structure and persistent freshness. Excellent drinkability.

NOTES The Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Rosè, which owes its pink color to the cold maceration of the Nebbiolo grapes, and subsequent pressing, is a truly particular and original product: it is really rare to find a sparkling wine based on Nebbiolo and, above all, with these quality features. Its processing requires that the base wine remain for a few months in steel to mature and then be bottled with the yeasts, for refermentation, then aged for at least 36 months.

AGING After the tirage, it rests on its own yeasts for at least 36 before disgorgement.
