Ballabio Farfalla Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Metodo Classico NV

Farfalla is a non-vintage Extra Brut spumante from Ballabio, made by the traditional method (Metodo Classico) as a Blanc de Noirs. It is produced entirely from Pinot Nero, vinified on its own, and rests for a long time in bottle before release. The colour is straw yellow with golden highlights, with a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose come peach, pear and other white-fleshed fruit, joined by complex, elegant hints of freshly baked bread and toasted dried fruit. The palate is creamy and elegant, with a long persistence and a fresh, savoury close. It works well as an aperitif, and can also be served through a meal, for example with vitello tonnato.
