Bollicine di Nikà are born from the passion and experience of the Castello di Volpaia's team that has selected the best Pinot Nero grown on the hills of Pavia in Lombardy renown as one of the best terroir in Italy for Pinot Nero. A unique Liqueur d’expedition based on grapes dried under the sun of the most southerly Mediterranean islands,.is added after 24 month of Tirage. And thus a Brut Metodo Classico sparkling wine was born, elegant and complex, characterized by freshly citrus notes and aromas of toasty bread, nuts, dried fruit and rose. Fine and persistent perlage. Long finish with flowery and spicy notes. Contains sulphites. Produced by FATTORIA CASTELLO DI VOLPAIA DI GIOVANNA STIANTI - Loc. Volpaia - 53017, Radda in Chianti (SI) - Italy.
The producer
Nika is an estate owned by Nicolò Mascheroni Stianti of Castello di Volpaia. Nicolò, after his experience in the cellars of Pol Roger Champagne, has always had the dream to produce a great Italian Metodo Classico sparkling wine. Free from any constriction he has chosen his Pinot Nero from the best vineyard in Lombardy (or in Italy as he likes to say). Then he created his secret receipt for a unique liqueur d'expedition based on grapes dried under the sun of the most southerly Mediterranean islands.
