Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC Spumante Metodo Classico Brut Rosé 2021 Josetta Saffirio

Nebbiolo d'Alba Spumante Brut Rosé by Josetta Saffirio is a sparkling wine made using the Metodo Classico from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown on the Piedmont hills at an altitude of between 400 and 600 meters above sea level with a western exposure. The vineyards are set on soils featuring alternating layers of clay and marl, which give the wine structure, elegance, and a strong local identity.

The whole Nebbiolo bunches are gently pressed with a brief maceration of around 5–6 hours to obtain the distinctive pink hue. The must is then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. In accordance with the Metodo Classico, the wine is bottled with the addition of the liqueur de tirage to trigger the second fermentation in the bottle and then remains on the lees for a long maturation period.

It presents an elegant, bright pink color in the glass with a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic profile is delicate and refined, with fragrant notes of red fruits and light floral nuances. On the palate it is fresh, harmonious and well balanced, with an elegant structure and a long, pleasantly mineral finish.

Ideal as an aperitif and perfect paired with fish dishes, shellfish and fresh pasta.
