Oltrepò Pavese DOCG Metodo Classico Rosé 2015 Castello di Cigognola

The Castello di Cigognola Rosé Vintage sparkling wine was born in Oltrepò Pavese from a red grape typical of this area, Pinot Nero. The Castle, which overlooks the Scuropasso valley, has belonged to the Arnaboldi, Brichetto and Moratti families for generations in the mid-fourteenth century. Since 1981 the farm has been managed exclusively by the Moratti family.

After the grapes are harvested, the grapes are pressed and they remain on the skins in maceration for approx. 30 minutes. The sparkling process takes place in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, where the wine ages on the lees for 60 months.

The wine appears in the glass of a pale pink colour, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose there are hints of wild strawberry, currant, raspberry and vegetal notes. The sip is pleasantly fresh and soft.

Rosé Vintage sparkling wine is perfect for a classy aperitif. It goes well with seafood appetizers, fish and shellfish first courses.
