Wine Description for Pensiero SP VSQ Brut Pas Operé 2018 by Cà del Vént

Colour & Appearance
Medium golden yellow with fine, persistent mousse – a visual testament to the extended lees ageing and maturity of this Blanc de Blancs.
Nose
Classic Chardonnay elegance meets artisanal finesse: lemon in all its facets – from fresh juice through aromatic zest to creamy lemon curd. These are joined by vanilla, green coriander and mint, contrasted by mineral notes of graphite and stone. Warmer tones of almonds, wood and ripe tree fruit round out the complex bouquet.
Palate
A fascinating interplay between maturity and freshness: initially, autolytic notes of almond croissants and vanilla dominate, accompanied by coriander seed and cider apples with fine creaminess. The absence of dosage allows the wine to retain its authentic character – vibrant acidity drives citric freshness to the fore. As it develops, the texture becomes increasingly chalky and peppery, with herbal-citric and saline minerality that underscores the dry, energetic character.
Finish
Long, mineral and refreshing with persistent citrus character and saline spice.
Terroir & Origin
The Chardonnay grapes come from south-west facing parcels at 360 to 430 metres altitude in Lombardy. The yellow to deep dark clay soils with white active limestone shape the mineral structure and complexity of this sparkling wine.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Pure Chardonnay made using Metodo Classico. Spontaneous fermentation and seven months‘ ageing in used wooden barrels, followed by 46 months on the lees. Disgorged Pas Operé – without dosage, topped up only with the wine itself. No filtration, fining or cold stabilisation. A radical commitment to naturalness.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Perfect with raw fish, oysters, scallops or sushi. Also excellent with pan-fried turbot, lemon risotto or aged Parmesan.
Special Features
A purist sparkling wine without compromise – Pas Operé means forgoing any dosage and additives. The 46 months on the lees impart extraordinary depth, whilst the absence of dosage emphasises the mineral clarity and authenticity of the terroir.
