Chapinar
Classical Method dosage Zero
First vintage: 2015
It is our classic method composed of CHArdonney, PINotnoir and ARneis.
A pas dosè sparkling wine, aged 36 months on the lees before disgorging. Aging makes this bubbly more complex both on the nose (with hints of bread crust and yeast) and on the palate making it fuller and more elegant.
Its residual sugar (< 2 gr/L) give the bubble more character and liveliness, nevertheless it remains pleasant and fine.
