Nicola Gatta Cuvée Nature d2024-09 CN6

Same Gatta as the recent April encounters - the medicinal-leaning oxidation, bruised apples, yellow plums. Great structure, complex, distinctive. Each pour confirms it: unconventional, demanding, increasingly compelling. Proper sparkling wine with real character.

Nicola Gatta works limestone-rich calcareous hills in Gussago and Cellatica on the eastern edge of Franciacorta, deliberately outside the DOCG so he can bottle as Vino Spumante on his own terms. Cuvée Nature is roughly 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Nero, spontaneously fermented in tonneaux, secondary fermented in bottle, and aged around thirty lunar months on lees before disgorgement. It is zero dosage with no added sulphites at any stage and no filtration; the CN6 marker tracks the cuvée's batch, and the d2024-09 disgorgement date locks this lot to September 2024.

Same Gatta as ever - the medicinal-leaning oxidation, bruised apples, yellow plums. Great structure, complex, distinctive. Each encounter confirms it: unconventional, demanding, and increasingly compelling. Need to grab a case.

Oh yes. This is beautiful. Need to grab a case. That signature oxidation - slight medicinal notes, bruised apples, yellow plums. Great structure, complex and distinctive. Each encounter with Gatta's Cuvée Nature confirms the same truth: unconventional, demanding, and increasingly compelling with every bottle. Proper sparkling wine with real character.
