Cascina Baricchi Jamais Spumante Metodo Classico Extra Brut

A sparkling wine from Cascina Baricchi, made from Pinot Nero grown in Neviglie in the Langhe. Reserve wines account for 30% of the blend, drawn from a solera of five white grapes: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Riesling and Chenin Blanc. The Pinot Nero is vinified in white and fermented in wood, while the five white grapes are vinified together in steel. The liqueur de tirage comes from Riesling and Chenin Blanc affected by botrytis cinerea, and both fermentations occur spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. It rests on the lees for about 30 months. The wine is non-vintage and Extra Brut. It shows a bright golden yellow colour with fine, persistent perlage. The nose offers intense aromas of yellow peach, spice, exotic fruit and pastry cream. On the palate it is rich and round, with mineral and pastry notes, good acidity and an elegant, persistent finish.
