Ricci Curbastro Curtefranca Vigna Santella del Grom Rosso 2016
The incredible richness of the soils revealed by the zoning research carried out by the Franciacorta Wine Consortium in the early 1990s led to the decision to include in the D.O.C. regulations the term "vineyard" (1995) followed by the toponym for those wines that, in addition to meeting special analytical and processing requirements, i.e. higher minimum natural alcoholic strength, higher net dry extract and more extended cellar ageing, come from a careful selection of grapes from a single vineyard. The winegrowers' knowledge of their best vineyards, combined with scientific research, are thus creating the conditions for a slow selection of the best Franciacorta crus. The first vintage of production was in 1983.

Colour

Deep ruby red, clear, and consistent.

Bouquet

Intense, extremely delicate and harmonious, with hints of wood and ripe fruit.

Flavour

Continuous, with character, full and silky with nice contribution by the Cabernet. In the mouth, it has a fine and continuative flavor, with noticeably good acidity that is, however, well combined with its smoothness.

Pairing

Perfectly accompanies red meats, stews, small game and large game, charcuterie, and ripe cheeses.
