Description

Erpacrife Nebbiolo Spumante 2018Selected Nebbiolo from a high altitude site in Madonna di Como (just outside the Barbaresco zone) is harvested by hand and stored at zero degrees for twenty days before a brief maceration on skins to impart a strawberry pink hue. Following a soft pressing, the wine is aged in oak for three months followed by a twenty four month in the bottle secondary fermentation. There is no dosage, preserving the power and structure so typical of great Nebbiolo.
