Gatto senza baffi is a Metodo Classico Pas Dosé sparkling wine that embodies the philosophy of Tenuta Belvedere: minimum intervention, maximum expression of the territory. Produced with white grapes, it ages on the lees for nearly 3 years (30 months), developing a complexity and finesse rarely found in this price category. Selected white grapes, spontaneous fermentation in steel tanks with only indigenous yeasts, second fermentation in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, and a very long aging of 30 months on the lees. Pas Dosé, no added sugars, with minimal or no sulfites. The result is a sparkling wine of great personality and drinkability, as playful as its label, which recalls the lightheartedness that a moment of pleasure can provide.

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright straw yellow color with golden reflections. Fine and persistent perlage of great elegance.
- Nose: The olfactory profile is complex and layered. Mineral hints emerge, along with elegant notes of white flowers (orange blossom, hawthorn), white-fleshed fruits (pear, apple), embellished with reminders of the world of pastry: bread crust, toasted almond, yeast, and a slight note of brioche. The minerality is the distinctive signature that binds all the elements together.
- Palate: The entry is fresh and smooth, with a light but never trivial body. The mineral texture is splendid and dominates the sip, supported by a lively acidity and a penetrating sapidity. The bubbles are fine, creamy, and enveloping. The finish is long and persistent, with citrus echoes and a mineral closure of rare elegance. A sparkling wine that is both playful and profound, offering a moment of pure pleasure.
