Pas Dose

Pure, superb and complex

A Traditional Method for events that don’t happen twice. From the combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay comes Pas Dosé, a sparkling wine without dosage aged on the lees for 36 months.

Uncompromising bubbles

Pas Dosé does not compromise. Why should it?

Good wine has character. It’s a special experience, a road to travel without knowing the destination. Let yourself be guided without expectations. Be pervaded by new sensations and discover yourself through unexplored frontiers. Pas Dosé may not be a wine you drink every day, but when the time comes you will know you have to let go of the reins.

As it often happens at Cantina Luretta, the best wines result from betting high on low odds. Pas Dosé is a robust and structured sparkling wine, just as one would expect from a Traditional Method. Choosing to age a sparkling wine for 36 months was an instinctive choice. The best bunches of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay deserved our patience to express their finest characteristics. With hints of yeast and a pleasant acidity that invades the palate, Pas Dosé is a wine to be savored slowly to celebrate the present.

character

Pure, sophisticated, full-bodied: this is our Pas Dosé, a classic method born from the combination of Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%) designed to be uncorked on the most special occasions. 36 months of aging on the lees and no dosage: the ideal wine to celebrate moments that are not repeated.

history

Pas Dosé is not released every year and vintages do not even come in chronological order. Each season has its own characteristics and respecting what the earth offers us is our top priority. For example quando l’annata 2016 si è esaurita, siamo usciti con l’annata 2015. One step back to take two steps forward. The secret ingredient of one of Cantina Luretta’s most successful sparkling wines was patience. The 2015 vintage was particularly good for all of our varietals and when it was time to put the Pas Dosé on sale, we chose not to.

Such an important wine deserved to be aged at least one more year in order to reach its full potential. Today, we are proud to present the Pas Dosé 2017, an elegant and delicate sparkling wine, produced with the Classic Method from a combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes and aged on the lees for 36 months.
