Tasting Notes: This Blanc de Blancs Nature from Nicola Gatta is a spontaneous fermentation sparkling wine made from 100% Chardonnay and aged for 50 moons (just shy of 50 months) on the lees. With 0 dosage and no sulfites, the wine fully expresses the minerality from the limestone hills and has surprising structure and aromas of brioche, apple, and lemon.
Estate History: "Gussago. Calcareous Soils. No Compromises." is the core phrase for Nicola Gatta, the sparkling wine producer from Lombardy. After growing up in a wine-producing family, he decided to pivot to creating wine with as little intervention as possible. He practices biodynamic farming and creates sparkling wine with spontaneous fermentation. The chalky soils lead to high-acid, mineral-driven wines that are well suited to Nicola's natural style of sparkling wine.
