Description
What kind of wine it is
1701 Brut Nature is a rigorous Franciacorta Metodo Classico with a pure profile, born from an elegant blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Presented as a zero dosage, it offers a taut sip with lively acidity, enhanced by a refined perlage. The bouquet reveals fragrances of peach, plum and candied citrus, enriched by hints of orange blossom and notes of brioche. A delicate savouriness makes it ideal for accompanying starters, fish and shellfish dishes or cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Cazzago San Martino, cultivated in the Sabbioni, Magrì and Brolo vineyards. The vines, trained using the Guyot system, sink their roots into deep moraine soil, rich in stony fragments and characterised by silty-sandy deposits. This geological matrix gives the wine a marked clarity and a distinct savoury texture. The estate follows the strict principles of biodynamic and organic farming, promoting the vitality of the land to deliver an authentic and vibrant territorial profile.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with a spontaneous primary fermentation, guided by indigenous yeasts in steel and cement tanks. The prise de mousse takes place according to the rules of the Metodo Classico, with ageing on the lees for around thirty months, enriching its aromatic profile. Clarification is achieved through careful manual riddling before disgorgement. The absence of added sugars in the final dosage ensures a pure sip, true to the real essence of the original fruit.
History and Curiosities
An expression of Cazzago San Martino, the 1701 Brut Nature Franciacorta DOCG combines craftsmanship and respect for nature. Created by oenologist Giulio Salti following the strict standards of Demeter biodynamic certification, this Traditional Method wine enhances the terroir without compromise. The absence of added sugars in the zero dosage and the patient manual riddling, after thirty months of ageing on the lees, deliver a taut, vibrant and genuine sip. Appreciated by the Italian Sommelier Association, it is produced in limited quantities for convivial moments.
