CLASSIC METHOD PINOT NOIR CAVE PRIVÉE "FARFALLA" (WOODEN CASE 3 BOTTLES) - BALLABIO

Cave Privée represents the "private cellar" of our family. Initially intended only to create a history of our most important vintages, set aside to follow the evolution of our Blanc de Noirs. Uncorking the first bottles however, we felt it was right to share our passion through this wine, in a limited number of bottles, with those who know how to appreciate and share our values.

Grape variety:

Pinot Noir

Average age of the vines:

2 Pinot Noir vineyards, from the average age of 40, located in the Municipalities of Casteggio and Montecalvo Versiggia

Grape harvest:

Traditional by hand in 18 kg boxes

Vinification:

Soft pressing of the whole grapes to obtain and ferment only 42% of the must, keeping the different vines separate. The musts obtained, after natural decantation, are fermented partly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and partly in 700-litre barrels. For both situations, after fermentation, the wines remain in contact with the yeasts until spring, preventing malolactic fermentation with the cold.

Second fermentation:

In spring the composition of the Cuvée takes place by tasting the various batches and assembling totally or in part only the best barrels and tanks. Tirage with selected yeasts in the company and aging in our vaults at a controlled temperature for years until the natural balance is reached. Further 6 months of evolution in the bottle before being put on the market.

Aging on the lees:

Average duration 6 years

Sugar residue:

4 g/L – Extra Brut
