Nicola Gatta Spumante Metodo Classico Blanc de Blancs Nature

A metodo classico sparkling wine from Nicola Gatta, made in Franciacorta but deliberately outside the Consorzio's disciplinary. It is a Chardonnay blanc de blancs in the Pas Dosé style, farmed biodynamically. Fifty months on the lees, well beyond the minimum required even for a Franciacorta DOCG, give a pale straw wine with a fine perlage. The nose is citrus and white flowers with a mineral hint. The palate is fresh and lively, fragrant and harmonious. It pairs well with fish carpaccio and shellfish.
