Bruno Giacosa bought his first winery in 1982. Until then, he had worked exclusively with bought-in grapes for four decades – and yet made wines that are still considered a reference today. The genius of Neive was convinced that it was not the ownership of a vineyard that was decisive, but the ability to get the best out of the fruit. If you recognise the right grapes, you don't need your own hectare. The Spumante is the purest distillate of this philosophy. The Pinot Nero grapes come from Casteggio in the Oltrepò Pavese – the Pinot territory south of Milan that Giacosa has always treasured. Foreign origin, own signature. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, no malolactic fermentation – the freshness remains intact. Then classic bottle fermentation, at least 30 months sur lie. Dosage 3.5 g/litre. Disgorgement only when the wine is ready.

Pale straw yellow in the glass, fine, persistent perlage. The nose reveals almond blossom, brioche, white cherry, citrus zest – complex, but never overloaded. Fresh, full-bodied and precise on the palate, with an elegant bitter note on the long finish. Grapes from the Oltrepò. Wine from Neive. Giacosa in purezza, but with bollicine. SUPERIORE.DE
