Pinot Nero Spumante TEUCRO VANZINI

Pinot Noir Spumante “Teucro” from Vanzini is an Extra Dry sparkling wine made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, in the municipality of San Damiano al Colle. The vineyards, located between 280 and 350 metres above sea level, grow on soils derived from calcareous sandstones and marls with a clay component and are raised using a traditional Guyot system and spurred cordon. Winemaking involves soft pressing of the grapes with immediate separation from the skins; the must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 14 and 20 °C for approximately 15-20 days. After a few rackings, the wine matures in steel for about two months and is then refermented in an autoclave according to the Martinotti or Charmat long method for about nine months, followed by aging in the bottle for about three months.
