F.lli Gancia & C. S.P.A. - Corso Libertà, 66 - Canelli (AT)
The Alta Langa DOCG 36 mesi Pas Dosé by Fratelli Gancia is the result of a perfect combination of a unique territory, the Langhe, top quality vines, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and a production tradition that has its roots in 1850. But let's proceed in order. This Pas Dosé is made from 75% Pinot Noir and the remaining part from Chardonnay. These two Burgundy grape varieties find their ideal habitat in the hills of the Alta Langa. The grapes, harvested by hand, are subjected to a soft pressing using a Marmonnier press, a traditional method that preserves the integrity of the skins and the aromas. Then only the free-run must is used for vinification, partly in barriques and partly in steel. The wine is aged on the lees for no less than 36 months, giving it elegance and complexity. Brilliant straw yellow colour, with a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is reminiscent of fresh fruit, yeast and bread crust, with a touch of minerality typical of the territory. In the mouth it is fresh and dry, with a marked acidity that makes it particularly balanced and pleasant to drink. Good already today, this sparkling wine has an excellent ageing potential. With time it will develop more complex and refined notes. Perfect with seafood appetisers, raw fish, delicate risottos and aged cheeses, but also suitable as a wine for meditation, to be savoured on special occasions.
Since 1850, Cantine Gancia has been a symbol of excellence in the Italian wine scene, with a history that is intertwined with that of Italian sparkling wine. Founded by Carlo Gancia, a Piedmontese visionary, the company has been able to combine tradition and innovation, becoming a global point of reference for lovers of wine and quality aperitifs. After studying in Reims, France, Carlo Gancia returned to Italy with the ambitious goal of creating a sparkling wine that could compete with the best French champagnes. And so, in 1865, after years of experimentation, the first Italian Classic Method Sparkling Wine was born, made with Moscato grapes, a native variety of Piedmont. This wine, called Moscato Champagne, marked the beginning of a revolution in the world of Italian sparkling wine, laying the foundations for what would become one of the most innovative companies in the sector. But Gancia's innovation didn't stop there. At the end of the 19th century, the company launched the first Vermouth, a unique product made without the addition of caramel, based on an infusion of aromatic herbs and a Moscato base. This Vermouth, which won an award at the International Fair in Chicago in 1893, became a model for all subsequent producers, further consolidating Gancia's role as a pioneer in the sector. Today, Cantine Gancia is a global brand, present in over 70 countries with a range of products that includes Metodo Classico and Charmat sparkling wines, aperitifs, vermouth, bitters and gin. With a production capacity of over 40 million bottles a year and marvellous historic cellars, the company combines industrial production with artisan attention to detail, guaranteeing quality and authenticity at every stage of the process.
