Lo Sparviere Franciacorta Cuvee 7 Brut
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.

Perlage

Delicate and long-lasting, with a dense mousse.

Colour

Brilliant straw yellow with gold highlights.

Bouquet

Characteristic bouquet of in-bottle fermentation with delicate notes of light honey and ripe fruit, including yellow peach, buttery notes classic to Chardonnay, mixed nuts, especially almonds, and hints of bread crust.

Flavour

Crisp with mineral notes; lengthy, exhibiting a structure that is firm yet velvety.

Pairing

Perfect for aperitifs with vegetable puffs and marinated salmon tartines; delicious with delicate starters, especially hot and cold fish dishes. Partners beautifully with light first courses, seafood risotto, and vegetarian pasta. Try it with medium-aged goat cheese.
