Zuffada Pas Dosé

Information

Description

Zuffada is Francesco Cardinali’s Pinot Nero Metodo Classico from Ruino in the Oltrepò Pavese. The bush vines, planted in a quincunx pattern with advice from Salvo Foti, grow at six hundred metres in a ventilated setting with marked day-to-night temperature changes. Farming is organic and work is manual. After pressing, the must ferments spontaneously in stainless steel; indigenous yeasts are also used for the second fermentation. Extended lees ageing precedes disgorgement without dosage. Its dry, rigorous style preserves the direct character of a small, carefully managed artisanal production in the hills.
