Description
Extra brut white sparkling wine from Franciacorta, 12.5% ABV, produced by Lo Sparviere. 100% Chardonnay, 2015 vintage. A Franciacorta Millesimato that expresses the excellence of the Lombardy terroir, with a long aging on the lees that enhances its complexity. The Lo Sparviere winery is located in Monticelli Brusati, southeast of Lake Iseo, in an ancient country house dating back to the 16th century. After soft pressing of the whole bunches to extract no more than 50% of the free-run must, controlled fermentation at around 18°C takes place 60% in stainless steel tanks and the remaining 40% in barriques and tonneaux. Aged 60 months on the lees. Bright straw yellow with golden highlights. Dense and continuous perlage. Evolved and very intense on the nose with hints of ripe pineapple, white peach, and dried fruit. The green spice is softened and enhanced by the intense notes of mountain honey on the finish. Clear acidity with a significant minerality, full and satisfying.
