Pecchenino Alta Langa DOCG Pas Dosè "Psea" 2020 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

The one proposed here is an elegant Metodo Classico Pas Dosè. Alta Langa DOCG, it is called Psea and is proposed by Pecchenino. It comes from vineyards cultivated in the municipality of Bossolasco, in the hilly area to the right of the Tanaro river. The soils are marly. The climate is cool, characterised by large temperature ranges between day and night. These conditions allow the Piedmontese company to guarantee excellent ripeness of the grapes, 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, ideal for the production of quality bubbles. The grapes are cooled in cellars to around 12°C before being softly pressed. The must obtained, after an initial decanting, is left to ferment in steel tanks and, at the end of this phase, the wine is racked partly into barriques and partly into barrels, where it remains for about 9 months in contact with fine lees, with repeated btonnage. It is then racked into steel tanks and prepared for the draught phase. This is followed by a stay on the lees for no less than 36 months. Brilliant straw yellow in colour with a fine, enveloping perlage. The nose is floral and fragrant, with hints of bread crust, biscuits, pastries, croissants and toasted hazelnuts. In the mouth it is enveloping and elegant, with a fresh, mineral acidity that lends finesse to the palate. A pleasantly gastronomic sparkling wine, this Psea goes well with aperitifs, cold meats and cheeses, as well as fish and white meat dishes. ...
