Description

The Cuvée n.7 is the most contemporary Franciacorta among the Sparviere wines. The cuvée n.7 embodies the territorial identity of the Sparrowhawk and the peculiarities of our terroir, expertly interpreted by the work of the oenologist Francesco Polastri. Born in 2014 from a selection of 10 cuvées created using different percentages of wines from individual vineyards, the cuvée identified with the number 7 proved to have the perfect stylistic figure to describe our territory. Hence the name “Cuvée n.7“. A Franciacorta 100% Chardonnay that conquers for its freshness.

Azienda Agricola Lo Sparviere lies in Monticelli Brusati, in the heart of Franciacorta; a timeless place narrating a story of tradition and love for the land.
