Tasting Note
Straw yellow with bright reflections, pleasant aroma, typically fruity, crisp, dry, pleasing to the mouth. The perlage is fine, long, an elegant lasting dance of “pearls” of bubbles.
Producer
The Torti winery was established in 1910 by Giovanni Torti. Succeeding generations have been heavily involved in winemaking and the winery today is operated by Dino Torti. Taking pride in their expansive vineyards, the winery has had particular success with Pinot Nero and especially indigenous grape varietals which thrive in the Lombardy region
Winemaking
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are hand harvested at dawn to ensure the grapes are as fresh as possible. The Martinotti (Charmat) method is used in tank to make this lively sparkling wine.
Fun Fact
Situated in Lombardy, the Oltrepo Pavese area is the most northerly wine region in Italy. Its town of Pavia (Pavese in Italian) is just 45 kms south of Milan. It is bordered by the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont. Amazingly, the area is “shaped like a bunch of grapes”, and is located exactly half way between the North Pole and the Equator, on the 45th parallel like Bordeaux in France.
Food pairing
The perfect aperitif or sundowner, this wine is well balanced and can be appreciated throughout a meal.
