Perlage

Perlage

Fine and persistent.

Profumo

Perfume

The aromas immediately recall pastries, lemon cream, a well flaked croissant, good mountain butter. Then comes dried fruit, especially hazelnut, and a delicate peppery sensation.

Colore

Color

Yellow with light golden reflections.

Gusto

Taste

In the mouth, it confirms itself as a cuvée with a slow and solemn rhythm, to be savoured calmly. The carbon dioxide gives it a particularly caressing texture, it is creamy and rich in its toasted hints, a hint of saffron then fades to fresh tones of aniseed and almond; the finish is in full balance, enlivened by a truly delightful citrus timbre. Soft, savoury and pulpy: it has the awareness and rhythm of cuvées that know how to challenge time.

Serve at:

08 - 10 °C.

Longevity:

05 - 10 years

Pairings

It is the sparkling wine we have been missing, a 100% Chardonnay extra brut made in Oltrepò Pavese, land of great Blanc de Noirs, by a company that has Pinot Noir as its historical identity. It is excellent eaten throughout a meal, especially paired with a traditional risotto with fresh porcini mushrooms and saffron, or Sanremo red prawns and Sichuan pepper. Or paired with a Ligurian-style monkfish, with Taggiasca olives and Provençal herbs. And why not propose it as a meditation wine, in good company, to create unique pleasant moments.

  • Bottles produced: 320.000
  • Hectares: 50
Once upon a time, and it's still here. It's 1893 when the Boatti Family in the municipality of Oliva Gessi, in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese, writes the most beautiful and important page in the history of Italian sparkling wine: at Cà del Tava, one of the great crus of the winery, the seal between Monsupello, Pinot Nero, and Chardonnay is stamped.

Daring what is new, dreaming it, imagining it, and making it real: in the name of the father, Carlo Boatti, and today with his children Pierangelo and Laura. With different sensitivities and attitudes, they are interpreters of future horizons, in the contemporaneity of their sparkling wines. Read more

Story The label is dedicated to Carla Dallera Boatti, wife of the late winemaker-philosopher Carlo Boatti. It is she who still today guards the culture and values of a family of farmers who became wine entrepreneurs, giving identity to the Italian Metodo Classico with sacrifice, passion and foresight. This reference represents the emblem of the vocation of the Monsupello vineyards and the richness of the Oltrepò Pavese in terms of terroir and microclimate. To complete the Pinot Nero Metodo Classico sparkling wine pyramid, a Blanc de Blancs limited series production arrives in 2020, which does not fear comparison with the more noble competing bubbles.
Origin First hillside strip of the Montagnera vineyard located in the municipality of Torricella Verzate

Harvest Beginning of September.
Wine making The white wine-making process begins with the soft pressing of the whole grapes, which leads to the separation of the must from the marc; in different containers, the free-run juice (i.e. the first 50% of the pressing liquid, which is more fruity, acidic and fine) is separated from the second-pressing must. The clarified and racked first-pressing must is fermented 24 hours after pressing in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 °C. The Blanc de Blancs cuvée is prepared by blending the best Chardonnay reserves matured in third-passage French barriques (those also used for Chardonnay Senso) and the elevated vintage Chardonnay in steel. After a slight protein stabilisation and filtration, the base is 'pulled' into champagnotte bottles with a liqueur de tirage consisting of wine, sugar and yeast. The bottles are corked with bidule and crown cork and stacked in the cellar to re-ferment at a constant temperature of 14 °C.
Aging Post-fermentation maturation on the lysed yeasts lasts at least 50 months, before the bottles are remuaged. In the disgorgement stage, the bottle is uncorked, the residue of the re-fermentation yeasts is removed and the liqueur d'expédition is added; finally, the sparkling wine is corked with a cork and cage and prepared for sale. Maturation after disgorgement for at least 6 months.
