Description
What kind of wine it is
Franciacorta Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Riserva by Camossi is a wine that celebrates the purity of Chardonnay. Produced strictly according to the Traditional Method, it stands out for its fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers intense fruity aromas, enriched by pleasant notes of bread crust. On the palate, it is fresh, elegant and decidedly dry, with a remarkable persistence that pairs perfectly with aperitifs, shellfish and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Riserva originates in Lombardy, in the renowned area of Franciacorta, from vineyards tended by Camossi in the municipalities of Erbusco, Paratico and Provaglio d’Iseo. The vines grow on franco-sandy soils of morainic origin, an ideal composition for producing bases of excellent quality. The expressiveness of the land is reflected in a clear and linear style, consistent with the Blanc de Blancs type and the prestige of this region.
How it is produced
Production follows the philosophy of the Solo Uva method, which involves using only the natural sugars from the grapes with no external additions. The secondary fermentation takes place according to the Traditional Method and concludes with a ninety-two month maturation on the lees. This long period of rest shapes the wine’s aromatic complexity and depth of flavour, offering a glass that highlights the fruit with genuine elegance.
History and Curiosities
