The Spumante Nature Classic Method Blanc de Noirs ‘Perpetuo 36 Lune’ from the Lombard producer Nicola Gatta is a sparkling wine with sublime expressive depth, produced from only Pinot Noir processed according to the Solera Method and then sparkling. In Gussago, in the far east of Franciacorta, Nicola Gatta creates exceptional Classic Method wines through a handcrafted viticultural approach, which has led him to choose to renounce the denomination to free himself from restrictive schemes that limit his spontaneous creativity.
The ‘Perpetuo 36 Lune’ Spumante Classic Method Nature Blanc de Noirs by Nicola Gatta is crafted through a blend mostly of old vintages of Pinot Noir, processed using the Solera Method. The vines, cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture, rest on marine-origin limestone hills, at about 400 meters above sea level. Fermentations always occur spontaneously and, once ready, the sparkling base is bottled and added with tirage syrup for the foam formation according to the Classic Method. After 36 months of aging on the lees in glass, the disgorgement process is carried out, followed by topping up with the same wine, without any addition of sugars.
The Blanc de Noirs Nature Spumante Classic Method Nicola Gatta ‘Perpetuo 36 Lune’ is golden yellow in color with very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, broad aromas of toasted hazelnut, dried flowers, and aromatic herbs emerge, combined with perceptions of sweet spices and smoky and toasted nuances. A fine mineral note completes the aromatic context. Creamy and articulated in taste, with great richness and intensity, supported by a brilliant freshness. This is a gastronomic sparkling wine that requires pairings of some significance, such as flavorful second courses of fish.
