CLASSIC METHOD PINOT NOIR ZERO DOSAGE "FARFALLA" COLLECTION N°7 - BALLABIO

Farfalla Zero Dosage is the fruit of the best expression of an iconic grape variety and an extraordinary terroir. Only Pinot Noir grapes from the company's historic vineyards grown at over 400 meters above sea level on soils with a predominantly calcareous structure from now-old stumps with low individual production in small and compact bunches. Years of aging in the bottle to achieve a natural balance between the important acid structure, the austere body and the palatal persistence.

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.

Average age of the vines:

30 years

Grape harvest:

Traditional by hand in 18 kg boxes

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 35% of reserve wines from the same vineyards to give complexity and uniqueness. Tirage with selected yeasts in the company and refinement in the bottle for at least 40 months, until the natural balance is reached. Disgorgement without addition of liqueur d'expedition and a further 2 months of evolution before being put on the market.
