Vendemmia Pas Opere 2011 Brut

This estate makes Italy’s finest sparkling wines from its 190 hectares of vineyard situated in the western part of the Franciacorta zone in a natural amphitheatre. The glacial soil is full of stones, and provides the ideal environment for the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes used in the production of their Franciacorta. The property was founded when Vittorio Moretti bought the hill called ‘Bellavista’, because of its stunning view, in the early 1970s.  At Bellavista, every process is performed naturally, from the vineyards to the wine. Every decision is made in consideration of the rhythms dictated by nature and by the history of the Franciacorta area.

Pas Operè is made from the selection of the Chardonnay and Pinot Nero vineyards located on high hills and which are more than 30 years of age, facing south/south-east. For this reason these vineyards are able to deliver grapes that have reached a perfect level of aromatic ripeness and have also kept the freshness of their acidity, a very important feature for this type of product.

The wine shows straw-yellow color with golden nuances. The perlage of this Franciacorta is very fine and elegant, on the nose notes of bread crust with citrus and hazelnut nuances are evident. On the mouth it is fresh with delicate bubbles which make this wine very pleasant. It has an extremely savory and long finish.
