2020 ErPaCriFe Nebbiolo Metodo Classico Zero Dosage

100% Nebbiolo from the Madonna di Como single vineyard, near Alba. Farming is organic (uncertified). Base wine fermented at low temperature and aged 6 months on the lees. Second fermentation in bottle, 24 months on the lees. No dosage. Aged 3 years in bottle after disgorgement and before release. 12.5% alcohol. A delicious rendition of Nebbiolo, interpreted through the lens of the Champenois Method. Bright, vertical and full of aromas of small wild berries and orange rind. No dosage added, to allow Nebbiolo’s character to shine through without filters. “ErPaCriFe” is a portmanteau created by four friends—Erik, Paolo, Cristian, and Federico. They are graduates of the prestigious Oenological School of Alba who teamed up to craft exceptional sparkling wines from native Piedmontese grapes.
