Description
What kind of wine is it
Nicola Gatta Quattrocento Extra Brut is a refined sparkling wine made using the Traditional Method in Lombardy from a carefully selected blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This label displays a pronounced liveliness on the palate, characterised by a dosage that enhances its dry profile and deep gustatory tension. Visually, it appears a bright straw yellow, enriched by a fine and persistent perlage that lends creaminess to the sip. On the nose, inviting fruity aromas emerge, accompanied by fresh floral notes, heralding a tasting experience of great precision and a harmonious finish.
Where does it come from
The grapes destined for this sparkling wine grow in the area of Gussago, in the province of Brescia, on the edge of Franciacorta. The vineyards are rooted in particularly suitable limestone hills, a soil composition fundamental in giving the wine its distinctive and pronounced minerality. Nicola Gatta's philosophy is based on a strictly artisanal approach, aimed at enhancing the authentic identity of the territory through essential agricultural choices that respect the natural local character.
How is it produced
The work in the cellar enhances the raw material through spontaneous fermentation triggered exclusively by indigenous yeasts. The subsequent prise de mousse takes place in the bottle according to the principles of the Traditional Method, allowing the wine to develop and refine its structure. This label is produced without fining agents or stabilisers, ensuring a pure and sincere expression. Thanks to its dry and balanced profile, it is ideal as an aperitif and can harmoniously accompany starters, fish dishes and cheeses.

"I take my choices step by step: sometimes going forward, sometimes going backwards. My method is classic, but it wants to be a hymn to diversity. The principle is to enhance a territory that is different in nature and origin, with the aim of obtaining wines that represent it without compromise." (Nicola Gatta) Read more
