Spumante Metodo Classico Pas Dosé Costanza Marchese Malaspina

Costanza is a Metodo Classico sparkling wine produced by Malaspina in the municipality of Bobbio, in the province of Piacenza, from vineyards located between 400 and 500 meters above sea level with southern, southeastern, and southwestern exposures. The marly-calcareous soil rich in calcium carbonate gives the wine tension, freshness, and a marked minerality. Made from a blend mainly of Pinot Nero and a small part of Chardonnay, it stems from the desire to enhance the territory through an artisanal and tradition-respecting approach.

The grapes, harvested by hand in the coolest hours of the morning, undergo destemming and extremely gentle pressing to obtain the must flower. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature to preserve the aromatic freshness, followed by aging on the fine lees for 9-12 months. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the wine ages on the lees for at least 24-30 months. Disgorging is carried out without adding dosage to keep its expressive purity intact.

In appearance, it shows a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is elegant and complex, with floral notes of white flowers and orange blossoms, citrus, dried fruit, fine patisserie, and balsamic and mineral accents. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, with pronounced acidity, marked sapidity, and a long and harmonious finish.

It pairs perfectly with dishes such as aged parmigiano reggiano, tuna tartare, ceviche, citrus risotto, and tempura of shellfish.
