TIPOLOGY
Spumante Charmat Method V.S.Q.
AREA OF PRODUCTION
Oltrepò Pavese
GRAPES
Pinot Nero
YIELD
80 quintals of grapes per hectare.
VINIFICATION
Towards the end of August, beginning of September the grapes are harvested by hand in small crates. The grapes are then de- stemmed and crushed, the must is then left on the skins for about 8 hours. The must obtained is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18°.
MATURATION
The spume develops in pressurized stainless steel tanks during the following spring; the wine is left to mature on its yeasts for at least 12 months to guarantee an optimal maturation; it does not undergo filtering before bottling, therefore the final product results slightly cloudy. This veiled characteristic is the result of the natural presence of inactive lees.
