Description
What kind of wine it is
Soldati Metodo Classico Pas Dosé is a rigorous sparkling wine expression crafted by La Scolca, created to enhance the Cortese grapes grown in the Gavi region. This Metodo Classico sparkling wine shines in the glass with a vibrant straw yellow colour, animated by a dense mousse and a persistent perlage. Its aromatic profile weaves together mineral and floral nuances with delicate hints of yeast and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is pure and fresh, with no added sugar to preserve its true Pas Dosé character, finishing with a decisive finale of pleasant almond and citrus notes.
Where it comes from
The Cortese grapes for this label come from a highly renowned hilly area within the Gavi district in Piedmont. Here, the hilly microclimate and the richness of the soil give the wine a fresh character and a distinct clarity of flavour. La Scolca interprets these vineyards by delivering a well-defined mineral texture that guides the aromatic development. The decision not to add any dosage highlights the precision of the fruit and the close connection to its place of origin. The result is a wine capable of conveying a linear expression and a strong territorial identity.
How it is produced
Production is based on the strict steps of the Metodo Classico, with a slow refermentation in the bottle that ensures a fine and persistent effervescence. The wine undergoes an extended maturation on the lees for at least thirty-six months, gaining structure, aromatic complexity and remarkable depth. The absence of liqueur d’expédition at disgorgement preserves the absolute purity of the raw material. This production technique enhances the overall harmony of the glass, outlining a decisive structure that pairs perfectly with raw seafood, sushi and refined starters.
History and Curiosities
Produced on the hills of Gavi D.O.C.G., Soldati Pas Dosé embodies the expertise of La Scolca, a symbol of excellence in Piedmont since 1919.
