Description
What kind of wine is it
Franciacorta Brut Nature Riserva Secolo Novo Giovanni Biatta is produced by Le Marchesine using the Traditional Method. Made from carefully selected Chardonnay, it offers a full and robust sip. In the glass, it stands out for its persistent perlage and creamy mousse, supported by a vibrant acid-saline freshness. The aromatic profile combines notes of peach, pineapple and plum with hints of yellow rose, honey and toasted bread, evolving into a long and complex finish with nuances of blond tobacco, incense and lemongrass.
Where does it come from
This Franciacorta originates from the vineyards of Passirano, in Lombardy, trained using the Guyot system. The vines draw nourishment from a soil rich in limestone rock, which gives the wine a distinctive savoury character. The agronomic management focuses on low yields and meticulous manual harvesting to preserve the integrity of the bunches. This deep connection with the terroir defines a precise acidic structure, essential for ensuring body and remarkable longevity.
How is it produced
Vinification is carried out by gravity, limiting mechanical intervention to extract only the free-run must. After fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, the wine is cooled to prevent malolactic fermentation, preserving its freshness. Following the prise de mousse, a slow ageing on the lees begins, lasting seventy-two months. This maturation gives the wine a profound structure, enhanced by the choice of zero dosage which highlights its absolute purity.
History and Curiosities
The result of the dedication of the Biatta family, active since 1985, this Franciacorta DOCG embodies excellence. The 2010 vintage enhances the pas dosé identity of a project that began in 2007. The fine Chardonnay grapes, grown on limestone soils in Passirano and meticulously hand-picked, impart an unmistakable territorial character. The exceptional 72 months of ageing on the lees gives this multi-award-winning Riserva a complex and enveloping structure, widely celebrated by the most authoritative international wine guides.
