PRODUCTION ZONE

This sparkling wine comes from the marly and calcareous soils of Rodello, a highly prized area of ​​Alta Langa, of which the Giribaldi company is part. Here, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are grown to produce sparkling wines which, according to Piedmontese tradition, are strictly obtained with the classic method of refermentation in the bottle. “Matteo Giribaldi”, a young winemaker, began producing Barolo in 2006, a wine that has always been considered a work of art and in 2011 he began his experience with the Spumante, a work of art of our future.

TRAINING SYSTEM AND VINEYARDS

The Pinot Noir vineyards (100%) are located in the Rodello area at an altitude of 510 and 560 m above sea level respectively with an eastern exposure.

TECHNOLOGICAL MENTIONS

In the 2021 vintage, the harvest is done manually in the last days of August; the grapes with the most suitable degree of ripeness are selected and subjected to a short cold maceration in the press under CO2; this brief contact of the must with the skins (about two hours) causes a slight extraction that will contribute to the donation of color as well as particular scents and aromas that will develop following the fermentation; followed by soft pressing from which only the flower of the must is used. Fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature of about 13-14 ° C for about 28 days. The wine thus obtained remains in steel for a few months and during this period a batonage is carried out per week. At the beginning of spring, the tirage is carried out, or the refermentation in the bottle, which will last about 60 days. The wine is aged on the lees for a minimum period of 30 months according to the specifications, keeping the bottles in a horizontal position in the cellar's underground rooms. The bottles are then placed on the pupitres for manual remuage, an accurate and essential preparation for the subsequent disgorgement or final degorgement.
