Description
What kind of wine it is
Cherubini Exceptis Blanc de Noirs Dosaggio Zero expresses the pure character of Pinot Noir. Crafted strictly according to the Traditional Method, it displays a golden yellow colour with bright amber highlights. On the nose, it reveals a clear bouquet, defined by fragrant notes of bread crust. The palate is intense, lively and structured, enlivened by a pronounced gustatory tension. Thanks to its dry profile, this sparkling wine pairs beautifully with raw fish, shellfish, fried foods, cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in an unspoilt landscape, on the Brescian hills beyond the eastern borders of Franciacorta, within a nature reserve. In this Lombard region, the vines sink their roots into calcium-rich soils with a clayey subsoil, benefiting from the presence of underground water tables. The microclimate is refreshed by a constant breeze and marked temperature variations between day and night. These environmental and geological conditions are essential for giving the wine a vibrant minerality, ensuring acidity and balance.
How it is produced
The production process faithfully follows the rules of the Traditional Method, adopting a minimal intervention approach to best respect the land, without the use of herbicides or pesticides in the vineyard. Ageing takes place entirely in concrete tanks, a technical choice aimed at preserving the linearity and tension of the fruit. The complete absence of dosage after disgorgement results in a pas dosé sparkling wine with a vertical and straightforward profile, capable of evolving beautifully over time.
History and Curiosities
Amidst the Brescia hills, nestled in a natural park, the Cherubini Exceptis Blanc de Noirs is born. This sparkling wine reflects the soul of the land thanks to minimal agricultural intervention and the absence of herbicides. Expertly crafted using the traditional method with zero dosage and matured in concrete vats, it enhances the purity of the Pinot Noir grapes. The calcareous and clay soils, gently caressed by a constant breeze, impart a vibrant minerality and acidity to the glass, offering an authentic and lively experience.
