It is a \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it is made with a second fermentation directly in the bottle, just like Champagne, and stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003ezero dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e: this means no sugar is added after disgorgement, thus enhancing the wine's purity and naturalness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Blanc de Noirs originates in \u003cstrong\u003eCasteggio\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of the Lombard hills, from vineyards with calcareous and stony soils, ideal for imparting freshness and structure to the wine.

This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003elong aging on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e – no less than 24 months – which enriches the wine with aromatic complexity and creaminess on the palate. After disgorgement, no sugar dosage is added, to maintain a pure and crisp fragrance, typical of the \"Zero Dosage\" style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSpumante Metodo Classico Zero Dosage Blanc de Noirs 'Farfalla' Magnum - Ballabio\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out for its precision, elegance, and gustatory-olfactory depth.
