Spumante Metodo Classico Nature Blanc de Blancs '50 Lune' Nicola Gatta

The Classic Method Sparkling Blanc de Blancs “50 Lune” is a rich and highly personal sparkling wine, as well as the most welcoming wine in Nicola's line. Another interpretation of great depth by the giant of Franciacorta, Nicola Gatta, a certain reference point for those in search of artisanal wines in an area like Franciacorta, better known for commercial realities that pursue different production intents. Nicola's production, on the other hand, is bespoke, characterized by the vines that are grown locally such as Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, but cultivated with care and respect, without any manipulation or forced intervention. Low yields, refusal of any chemical additives, and perfect ripening of the grapes are some of the cornerstones of Nicola's work, translated into bottles that blind taste outshine much more renowned competitors. Now a classic.

The Blanc de Blancs “50 Lune” is a classic method obtained from pure Chardonnay grapes, grown in Gussago following the principles of biodynamics, and therefore excluding the use of chemical or synthetic substances. In the winery, the same philosophy continues, therefore all base wine fermentations occur spontaneously without undergoing clarifications or filtrations. After the refermentation in the bottle, the liquid rests on the fine lees for about 50 months/moons.

The “50 Lune” Blanc de Blancs by Nicola Gatta presents itself in the glass with a pale straw yellow color and extremely fine perlage. A luscious and broad nose that immediately invites to sip, characterized by notes of clarified butter, pastry, toasted fruit, and citrus zest. The tasting reveals a cohesive and exquisite wine, spirited yet welcoming due to a caressing texture and a champion-like salty finish. Completeness.
