The one proposed here is the purest and most surprising version of Franciacorta DOCG. We are talking, in fact, about a Brut Nature, to which no sugar is added to make it softer and more pleasant. But let us proceed with order. It is born in the heart of Franciacorta, in Provaglio d'Iseo. This Franciacorta DOCG Brut Nature is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes that have their roots in the beautiful hills shaped by glaciers over the millennia. The soils here are moraine and rich in minerals, ideal for growing vines. The southern exposure of the vineyards also guarantees excellent ripeness of the grapes, which are thus able to bring freshness and minerality to the wine. The grapes, harvested at the right degree of ripeness, are pressed and the must obtained ferments in steel vats. Then, after careful blending, the base wine is bottled with the addition of yeasts and sugars to start the frothing process. This is followed by a long maturation on the lees for at least 20 months, during which the wine develops its complex aromatic notes and fine perlage. At the end of this phase, the wine is disgorged and re-tapped without any dosage, i.e. without the addition of liqueur d'expédition. The result? To the eye, it has a luminous golden yellow colour, enhanced by a persistent perlage. On the nose, the bouquet is intense and complex, with notes of elderflower, rosemary and thyme, complemented by fruity nuances of gooseberry, nectarine and lime. A delicate nuance of yeast finally adds depth to the aromatic profile. In the mouth, freshness is the protagonist, flanked by a good savouriness that gives the wine great minerality. This Franciacorta DOCG Brut Nature is the wine to uncork for a refined aperitif. Excellent with delicate fish and white meats.
