Spumante Pinot Nero Rosé Brut CONTE VISTARINO

Description
Conte Vistarino’s Pinot Nero Rosè Brut sparkling wine is produced only with Pinot Nero grapes generally harvested at the end of August, fermented in steel and then re-fermented in an autoclave according to the Charmat method, with 2 months ageing on its own yeasts.
It is an excellent rosé wine with a pale pink colour, characterised on the nose by a delicate bouquet, with hints of red fruits and rose petal notes, which is well suited for a fish-based apéritif.

Family history
The family, which for many centuries has owned an extensive vineyard in Rocca de'Giorgi , has long played an active role in improving the quality of the wines of the Valle Scuropasso, using the best of the most modern technology. In this way they have helped to improve the reputation of the wines of the Oltrepo Pavese, the area south of Pavia. Carlo Giorgi di Vistarino introduced the Pinot Nero grape to Oltrepo Pavese between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century and won awards in London and Paris with the sparkling wines produced. His work was continued by Ottaviano and Carlo and is now in the hands of Ottavia Giorgi di Vistarino. The goal remains the same: to produce elegant, authentic wines that express their terroir.

Philosophy

The Giorgi di Vistarino estate extends over 826 hectares, mostly in the municipality of Rocca de' Giorgi, and has remained faithful to the agricultural traditions and style of the great nineteenth-century wineries. Their family's dedication to the land and its values has meant that the estate preserves both the landscape and the wildlife.
