Skilled hands and energy, harmony, curiosity and ambition; these same traits that characterise I Barisei’s profound connection to their land can be found in the pragmatism of a family that has always acted on its instinct for experimentation and innovation. This dedication is today manifest in the use of cutting edge cellar technology such as cryomaceration; in activities aimed at the protection and promotion of biodiversity. Read more

Wine making | The grapes, painstakingly selected during the harvest, are softly pressed to extract only the qualitative heart of the product. The first fermentation takes places in thermoconditioned stainless steel tanks where the sparkling wine base rests for at least 8 month before assembly. In creating the Cuvée of this product, minimum parts of all the first selections are included, thereby creating a balanced and complete product, reflecting all the facets of a company in contact with the land for centuries (hence the name Sempiterre). |
Aging | The second fermentation in the bottle, according to the tradition of the Franciacorta method, is slow and kept under control day by day. Every bottle undergoes, on average, 24 months of ageing on the lees before ending with a not too invasive dégorgement with a liqueur of 6 g/l of sugar. |
Allergens | Contains sulphites |
