Production
The Gatti family manage 120 hectares of vineyards in six localities within the DOC. Sunny rolling hills, at the foot of the Alps, ensure well ripened grapes. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tank at controlled temperature between 16 and 18°C with selected yeasts. The wine spends 12-24 hours on the skins to extract the natural pink colour (red wine is not added). Tirage takes place in spring time of the following year. The wine is aged on lees for 36 months. Dosage is 4 grams/litre of sugar.
Tasting notes
A delicately pale pink. The nose reveals hints of strawberries, fresh redcurrants and brioche, with sweet berry characters and savoury flavours on the palate. Fine, delicate and persistent mousse accompanied by a long, layered finish.
Food match
Delightful with shellfish, mozzarella and vine-ripened tomato salads, or a range of dim sum.
