Description
The Portofino Metodo Classico Abissi by Bisson is a sparkling wine crafted in the locality of Pestella, in Trigoso of Sestri Levante, in the Province of Genoa. Depending on the vintage, it can be made from Bianchetta Genovese, Vermentino or Pigato grapes, picked early and by hand.
Once fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks is complete, the base wine undergoes its secondary fermentation while submerged inside stainless steel cages, at a depth of 60 meters on the seabed of the Baia del Silenzio in Sestri Levante. It rests there for 18 months at a controlled temperature of 15°C before being retrieved and subjected to traditional disgorgement, with topping up using the same wine.
It features an intense straw-yellow color and a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose it releases a bouquet whose character ranges from musky to briny. On the palate it is dry and long, pleasantly mineral.
Ideal throughout the meal, this Zero Dosage sparkling wine is excellent alongside refined fish-based dishes.
