In the glass, it displays a fine and persistent perlage, framed by a straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet ranges from notes of ripe pineapple, white peach and dried fruit, with a finish that evokes green spices and mountain honey. On the palate, the \u003cstrong\u003esilky texture\u003c\/strong\u003e elegantly balances the pronounced mineral savouriness and vibrant acidity. It is the ideal companion for cured meat starters, soft cheeses and \u003cstrong\u003erobust meats\u003c\/strong\u003e such as roast pork saddle, but it also pairs perfectly with sushi and sashimi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sparkling wine originates in Monticelli Brusati, in \u003cstrong\u003eLombardy\u003c\/strong\u003e, where Lo Sparviere cultivates vineyards facing north at around one hundred and eighty metres above sea level. The historic vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003emoraine soils\u003c\/strong\u003e composed of red clays and the characteristic Lombard Selcifero, a formation rich in limestone and marl. This particular pedoclimatic composition encourages low yields, giving the grapes a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e and dynamic freshness, fundamental for defining a taut profile deeply linked to the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManual harvesting in small crates precedes gentle pressing of the whole bunches, aimed at extracting only the finest free-run must. The first fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in steel tanks and in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by partial malolactic fermentation. Once the \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e is created with a selection of reserve wines, the prise de mousse takes place according to the strict standards of the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing on the lees for at least sixty months gives the wine extraordinary complexity and remarkable fullness of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1974 within a charming sixteenth-century residence, the company Lo Sparviere presents this prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta Millesimato 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e.
