Calatroni Poggio dei Duca Oltrepo Pavese Metodo Classico Pinot Nero Pas Dose 2020

Calatroni Poggio dei Duca Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico Pinot Nero Pas Dosé 2020 is a refined, terroir-driven sparkling wine that showcases Pinot Noir in a pure and uncompromising style. Made without dosage, it highlights precision, freshness, and the mineral character of Oltrepò Pavese, one of Lombardy’s most respected areas for traditional-method sparkling wine.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this wine opens with delicate aromas of green apple, citrus zest, white flowers, and subtle brioche notes. As it evolves, hints of almond, stone fruit, and chalky minerality add complexity and lift. On the palate it is dry, crisp, and focused, with vibrant acidity and a clean, linear structure. The absence of dosage gives it a particularly taut, elegant profile, allowing the Pinot Noir fruit and savory depth to shine through. It can drink beautifully now, but should also gain added nuance over the next few years.

Production
Produced in the Oltrepò Pavese area of Lombardy, this Metodo Classico comes from Pinot Noir vineyards suited to the cool climate and calcareous, well-drained soils of the region. These conditions help preserve acidity and aromatic finesse, which are essential for high-quality traditional-method sparkling wine. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified according to the classic method, with secondary fermentation in bottle and no added dosage at disgorgement.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to emphasize its freshness and precision. It is an excellent partner for oysters, shellfish, sushi, fried seafood, delicate risottos, and light white meats, and it also works wonderfully as an aperitif. Decanting is not recommended; simply open shortly before serving to enjoy its lively mousse and aromatic purity.
