Spumante Zero Dosage Metodo Classico Farfalla Ballabio - Collection 8

Farfalla Zero Dosage by Ballabio is an elegant Metodo Classico sparkling wine, characterized by its absence of final dosage, meaning it is produced without the addition of liqueur d’expédition. This wine, made with pure Pinot Noir grapes, cultivated in the historic vineyards of the estate at over 400 meters above sea level on predominantly limestone soil. It stands out for its purity and essence, expressing the characteristics of the Oltrepò Pavese terroir at its best. After careful selection of the grapes and gentle pressing, the must ferments and matures on its own yeasts in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and integrity of the fruit. The cuvée assembly is done with care, using about 35% reserve wines from the same vineyards alongside the vintage wines. Farfalla Pas Dosé by Ballabio presents itself with a bright straw yellow color and delicate, persistent perlage. On the nose, it impresses with its complex and enveloping bouquet, with notes of bread crust and yeast, complemented by delicately floral and fruity hints. On the palate, it is vibrant and fresh, with pleasant acidity and a subtle minerality that provides depth and persistence. Farfalla Zero Dosage by Ballabio is perfect for accompanying seafood appetizers, vegetables, grilled fish, and white meats.

The Ballabio Winery is one of the most important realities in the Oltrepò Pavese region and is a reference point for the sparkling wine world. Since 1905, when Angelo Ballabio founded the company, it has pursued a viticultural path aimed at producing distinctive and high-quality wines. Currently owned by Filippo Nevelli and his son Mattia, the winery boasts an area of 48 hectares with an annual production of 100,000 bottles. In the vineyard, work is meticulous and scrupulous, with very low environmental impact, without the use of pesticides and herbicides, in the utmost respect for biodiversity and the natural characteristics of the soil.
The winemaking process begins with the careful selection of the best grapes, harvested by hand during the harvest to ensure maximum quality. Grapes from each vineyard are pressed and vinified separately, in order to respect the characteristics of each terroir.
Ballabio wines, all classic method sparkling wines, stand out for their elegance, structure, longevity, and aromatic complexity.
