IN THE BLANC DE NOIR’S EXUBERANCE
For a hundred and fifty years, the Nerello Mascalese has been the soul of the Gangemi family.
We persist in studying it to enhance excellent sparkling wines, experimenting with increasingly longer aging and delicate dosages.
Heroic high-altitude vineyards, sixty months on the lees and zero dosage are the essence of Bollenere Brut Nature.
Begin your gathering by letting yourself be enchanted by its spicy and entising aromas. Sophisticated and well-balanced, it embodies the authentic mineral spirit of Mount Etna.

IN THE WINERY
Vinification: gentle whole-bunch pressing, for vinification as a white wine. The first fermentation takes place at low temperatures. The second fermentation is in the bottle, in accordance with the Champenoise method (Metodo Classico), in the spring following harvest.
Ageing: after the second fermentation, the wine remains on its lees for at least 60 months in our underground ageing cellars, a unique and fascinating place you can see when you visit the winery.
