Valdobbiadene DOCG Metodo Classico 2023 - Cà dei Zago

Valdobbiadene DOCG Metodo Classico - Cà dei Zago

Ca' dei Zago's Valdobbiadene DOCG Metodo Classico was created in 2010 and is made from Glera grapes from a single vineyard in San Pietro di Barbozza, with vines approximately 80 years old. The first fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel tanks, with a brief maceration on the skins. A second fermentation follows in the bottle, with a secondary fermentation lasting 16 months. No liqueur d'expédition is added after disgorgement, resulting in a pas dosé. It has a straw yellow color, with a creamy foam and a fine, persistent perlage. The nose reveals notes of white peach, pear, and apple, accompanied by delicate floral aromas of jasmine and wisteria. On the palate, it is remarkably fine and elegant, with pronounced mineral tones, a pleasant saline note, and a distinct freshness that supports its drinkability.

Service

We taste it at a temperature around 6/8 ° C in flute ballon. 

Pairings

Ideal as an aperitif, first courses with fish and vegetables, to try with a plate of shellfish and molluscs.

Cellar: Cà dei Zago

Cà dei Zago is located in San Pietro in Barbozza, one of the areas most prosecco production. Already in the 1930s, Christian's grandfather, the current owner, produced prosecco tradition according to tradition, to the fermented wine he added a small percentage of sugar and bottled. With the arrival of the first warm in the spring, it took up the fermentative activity in the bottle and the wine to the stappatura was vibrant and sparkling. Today, Christian, together with Marika, does nothing but follow the tradition. He cultivated his vineyards of Glera on two different parcels, one in San Pietro where we find sandy and clay soils the other at the village of Saccol with prevalence of sandstone rock. The plants are bred secondhand the rigid dictates of biodynamics and have an average age of 60 years. Christian Zago produces about 50000 bottles a year and its velvet-colored prosecco is the faithful mirror of a land of genuine peasant tradition.
