EXTRA BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS M.C. BIO* is a sparkling wine produced by COSSIGNANI L.E. TEMPO in the picturesque Marche region, Italy. This IGT white is made from carefully selected grapes from the Vigna San Pietro, grown on sandy-limestone soils and hand-harvested in the second decade of August. The winery employs meticulous vinification that enhances the grape variety and terroir through fermentations with indigenous yeasts and bottle refermentation in cool environments, following a method that maintains the utmost respect for the raw materials. Alcohol content: 12.5. Vineyard training is on trellis with a planting density of 2.6m x 1m. Bilateral guyot pruning. Harvest/Vintage: Second decade of August, selected grapes hand-harvested in small 15 kg crates and then cooled for 24 hours in a refrigeration unit. Organoleptic notes: The sparkling wine presents a bright straw-yellow colour with slight greenish hues. Soft foam, delicate and persistent perlage. On the nose, there is significant aromatic freshness characterised by an interesting olfactory complexity that showcases nuances of white broom flowers, fragrant woody notes, citrus, and pastry. On the palate, it is perceived as fresh, dry, and savoury with fine and balanced aromatic intensity. Lively and saline tasting. Excellent persistence and structure. Soil: Sandy-limestone. Vineyard: Vigna San Pietro. Winemaking/Aging: The winery's work is entirely focused on maximising respect for the grapes and musts to make the grape variety and terroir the main actors. Only the free-run juice is retained from pressing, therefore the yield never exceeds 37/38% (to give an idea of the meticulous work, the ratio is 1 plant = 1 bottle). The musts resulting from micro-parcellation in the vineyard are managed separately and interpreted to the best through meticulous research on the materials to be used in the first fermentation (cement, barrique, tonneaux). The latter is carried out using indigenous yeasts following the preparation of the pied de cuve. About 40% of the vintage wine is kept in the winery to constitute Vin de Reserve for the blends of future years. The stabilisation of the wines is carried out using only cold and the bottle refermentation occurs in environments with low temperatures, utilising a natural cave present in the winery. Our annual production of the Blanc from Pecorino grapes is approximately 5000 bottles.
