Metodo Classico Ceppo 326 Dosaggio zero Rosé 2020

The Metodo Classico Ceppo 326 is presented in its essentiality as a non-dosed traditional method sparkling wine. It is produced with an original blend of Groppello and Erbamat, two typical Lombard vine variety, little known. It is presented as a vintage and evolved sparkling wine with over 3 years of permanence on the lees. Groppello is a red grape variety, used mostly for the production of still rosé wines, the so-called “Chiaretto”. Erbamat is an early ripening indigenous white grape variety that was almost disappeared. It has recently been re-evaluated and included in the Franciacorta production specifications for its precious acidity. Pasini cultivates both varieties in his vineyards on the western shore of Lake Garda on soils of morainic origin, with clayey limestone formation rich in skeleton.

Groppello is vinified in pink while the Erbamat strictly in white and both base wines are obtained from an alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel. After making the blend, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the traditional method and the sparkling wine ages on the lees for over 40 months. Finally, at disgorgement it is filled with the same wine with no added sugar (no dosage).
