Uberti's Pas Dosé Sublimis. Four years on lees and zero dosage strip the wine to its chalky Erbusco terroir.

What it pairs with

  • Risotto al tartufo bianco Find risotto al tartufo bianco on TableJourney →
    Forty-eight months on lees give the wine the autolytic creaminess to carry white truffle's musky aromatics over Carnaroli rice.
  • Capesante al burro
    Pan-seared scallops in butter find a foil in the wine's patisserie cream and saline finish.
  • Aged Bagòss
    Brescia's mountain cow's cheese with crystalline salt mirrors the saline minerality.

Frequently asked about Uberti Sublimis Brut Nature

What does Uberti Sublimis taste like?

Lemon zest, yellow apple, chalk, fresh almond and brioche on the nose; lemon curd, patisserie cream, saline minerality and fine green herbs on the palate. Full-bodied with high acidity and a long finish from 48 months on lees.

What does Brut Nature mean?

Brut Nature, also called Pas Dosé or Dosaggio Zero, signals no liqueur d'expedition added at disgorgement. Residual sugar under 3 grams per litre exposes the wine's natural acidity and chalky moraine-hill minerality.

When should I drink Sublimis?

Drink between 2 and 12 years from disgorgement. The chalky core and patisserie autolysis deepen between 4 and 8 years from disgorgement.
