FRANCIACORTA BRUT D.O.C.G. MILLESIMATO

PRODUCTION ZONE
This wine is produced from our vineyard situated on the hill Monte Orfano in Cologne.

VINE AND VINIFICATION
The Franciacorta D.O.C.G,. Brut stems from clonal selections of Chardonnay grapes.
At harvest, the grapes are handpicket and placed into small boxes. Then, the
whole grapes undergo a very slow and soft pressing . Fermentation occurs at
controlled temperature (17-19 degrees) with indigenous yeast in order to maintain the flavours and the aromas of Franciacorta. After the fermentation, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks. In March and April the wine is bottled and the process to induce the sparkling takes place. Then the botte are stored in rooms at controlled temperature (12-14 degrees) for at least 36 months. After that period, the Franciacorta D.O.C.G. Brut presents its particular flavour and aroma, together with the finest perlage. The wine is then ready for the final stages: remuage, degorgement and labelling.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
The colour is yellow with gremì reflections. The perlage is very fine and persistent. The bouquet is delicate and compact, followed by a dry taste and the distinctive finish of its full flavour.
