Collestefano Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero Le Prata 2022

Collestefano Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero Le Prata 2022 is a distinctive sparkling Verdicchio from the Marche, crafted in a zero-dosage style that lets purity, texture, and site character shine through. Made by Collestefano, a producer known for thoughtful, terroir-driven wines, it brings a more refined, gastronomic expression of one of central Italy’s most characterful native grapes.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it should show a bright, pale straw color with a lively, persistent mousse. The nose is likely to be fresh and nuanced, with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and subtle brioche or yeast-derived complexity from its traditional-method aging. On the palate, expect a crisp, dry profile with racy acidity, fine bubbles, and a clean mineral edge, balanced by the natural structure of Verdicchio. The zero-dosage style emphasizes precision and freshness rather than sweetness, giving the wine a focused, elegant finish and good potential to develop further nuance over the next few years.

Production
Le Prata 2022 is made from Verdicchio Bianco grown in the Marche, where the grape thrives in a climate influenced by both the Adriatic Sea and the inland hills. This interplay typically delivers freshness, aromatic clarity, and a strong mineral backbone. As a Metodo Classico Dosaggio Zero, the wine undergoes traditional bottle fermentation and extended lees aging before disgorgement without dosage, preserving a pure, dry expression of the fruit and terroir.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, crudo, fried seafood, delicate risottos, and savory vegetarian dishes such as artichokes or asparagus. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider brief decanting only if the wine seems particularly closed after opening; otherwise, it is best enjoyed straight from the bottle to preserve its freshness and finesse.

Producer
Collestefano is a respected Marche estate closely associated with high-quality Verdicchio and a careful, artisanal approach to winemaking. The producer has built a strong reputation for authentic wines that highlight local identity rather than heavy manipulation, and its bottlings are valued for their clarity, balance, and sense of place. Among the region’s producers, Collestefano stands out for showing how expressive and age-worthy Verdicchio can be in both still and sparkling form.
