Notes on the Wine
Sparkling wine referenced in the bottle according to the classic method starting from pure Nebbiolo. It has a minimum refinement of three years and is not dosed at the act of disgorgement in order not to manipulate the originality of the base wine. It is the photographic negative of Nebbiolo, white on black that creates a unique rosé
Notes on the Producer
From a friendship born between the counters of the oenological school of Alba to a company that has revived sparkling wines from indigenous Piedmontese vines. This is the story of Erpacrife, a union of intentions, stories and friends. Erik, Paolo, Cristian, Federico grew up in their respective family cellars, but as soon as they came of age, in 2000, they decided to get involved with their own name, indeed, with the first syllable of their name, starting from a bet: the Sparkling Nebbiolo. From the school and from just 500 bottles of the first label, today Erpacrife has made school and is a structured reality. New ideas were born and, from these, new labels. The boys have grown up, but the friendship and the desire to experiment have always remained the same.
Erpacrife has identified in Madonna di Como, a hamlet of Alba, the vineyard suitable for its purposes. Here, thanks to lean and light soils, at an altitude of 400 meters and facing east, the grapes harvested in advance have the characteristics necessary to give an excellent sparkling base.
