CLASSIC METHOD PINOT NOIR EXTRA BRUT "FARFALLA" COLLECTION N°10 - BALLABIO

Farfalla Extra Brut represents the essence of the Ballabio style. It is the synthesis of the elegance, freshness and complexity of Pinot Noir. Its balance comes from the grapes coming from proprietary vineyards with a mainly calcareous-clayey structure set on hillsides between 300 and 400 meters above sea level

Oltrepò Pavese is that hilly strip of land in the south of Lombardy known for being the meeting point of four regions: Lombardy, Piedmont, Liguria and Emilia Romagna. This peculiar characteristic makes the Oltrepò Pavese rich in different but well integrated cultures, languages, traditions and cuisines.

Equidistant from the North Pole and the Equator, where the lunar coolness of the North meets the solar heat of the South, is the 45th parallel, the quintessence of natural balance for the vine plant.

Vinification:

Soft pressing of the whole grapes to obtain and ferment only 45% of the must at a controlled temperature. Aging in steel tanks until spring on its lees.

Second fermentation:

Assembly of the Cuvée using, together with the vintage wines, a good 20% of reserve wines, aged in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks to give complexity and uniqueness. Tirage with selected yeasts in the company and aging in the bottle for at least 30 months. Disgorgement and further 2 months of evolution before being put on the market.
