Born in the heart of Franciacorta, in Provaglio d'Iseo, this Franciacorta DOCG Brut is a sparkling wine of great elegance and complexity. Son of a purezaz vinification of Chardonnay grapes, this noble grape variety finds an exceptional terroir here on the shores of Lake Iseo. The hills of Franciacorta, in fact, with their moraine soils and mild climate, offer the Chardonnay vines ideal conditions for producing grapes of the highest quality. The southern exposure of the Pavò vineyards also guarantees perfect ripening of the grapes, giving the finished wine aromatic richness and structure. Brought to the winery within a few hours of harvesting, the grapes are immediately pressed and the must is fermented in steel vats. After blending, the base wine is bottled with the addition of yeasts and sugars for the delicate frothing phase followed by a long ageing on the lees for at least 20 months. As soon as it is poured, this Brut reveals a brilliant straw yellow colour, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals an intense and sunny bouquet, with notes of yellow peach, apple, medlar and delicate floral hints of dandelion. These are joined by more complex nuances of vanilla, turmeric and toasted almond, giving the wine a unique depth and richness. In the mouth, the creaminess and envelopment blend with a lively freshness and delicate savouriness, creating a perfect balance. The persistence is long and pleasant, with pleasant toasted and spicy returns. Excellent as an aperitif, this Franciacorta goes well with raw seafood, carpaccio, sashimi and more generally with delicate fish dishes.
