Description
What kind of wine it is
The sparkling wine 3Sette Extra Brut from Ca’ di Frara is a refined expression of Lombardy, produced entirely from Pinot Noir grapes. The glass, with its straw-yellow colour, releases clear aromas of ripe fruit, while on the palate it offers a soft and harmonious sip, supported by a lively mineral finish. This gustatory harmony makes it the ideal companion for starters, lean fish dishes and fresh cheeses.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates from vineyards located between Mornico Losana and Oliva Gessi, in the heart of the Lombardy hills. The vines benefit from a hilly microclimate protected from the easterly and westerly winds, which ensures favourable and consistent weather conditions. Mild winters and breezy summers guarantee perfect ripening of the grapes, enhancing their natural aromatic richness. From this territorial context comes a wine with a balanced character and vibrant freshness.
How it is produced
After white vinification, the base sparkling wine undergoes a second fermentation in a pressurised tank following the Martinotti-Charmat method. This process defines the Extra Brut dosage and encourages the development of a fine and persistent perlage, resulting in a clean sensory profile with distinct fruity notes. The result is a wine of marked freshness, with an estimated cellar ageing potential of up to five years. To best appreciate its qualities, a serving temperature of 6-8 °C is recommended.
