Tenuta il Bosco Oltrepò Metodo Classico DOCG "Oltrenero" Brut - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Oltrenero Brut. 100% Pinot Noir. This is an Oltrepò pavese DOCG, a classic method produced in the province of Pavia by the Zonin family. The grapes are harvested by hand in 16 kg crates. We start with the soft pressing of the whole grapes to extract the first-pressing must, which is decanted and then sent to alcoholic fermentation. This produces the base that is left in steel tanks for a few months before bottling and second fermentation. Maturation of 30 months in contact with its own yeasts, followed by a further 2 months' rest in the cellar after disgorging, is required before the wine can be considered ready to go to market. A pale straw yellow, this sparkling wine reveals a soft mousse and a particularly fine, continuous and persistent perlage. The nose reveals a broad bouquet, with hints of bread crust, mineral and floral perceptions of wisteria and elderflower. In the mouth, it is firm and fresh, with excellent flavour and a perfect nose/palate correspondence. Excellent as an aperitif, it accompanies cured meats, risottos and seafood first courses. ...
