Description
What kind of wine it is

On the palate, it is soft, fresh and lively, characterised by a fine and persistent perlage. The structural balance ensures a pleasant drink, fully enhancing the elegance of this cuvée.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the vineyards of Passirano, located in the heart of Franciacorta, in Lombardy. Here, the vines find optimal conditions for excellent aromatic ripening. The manual harvest preserves the integrity of the bunches until they reach the winery. Agronomic care is essential to guarantee the wine's olfactory precision. The terroir of Passirano stands out clearly, translating the winemaking vocation of Lombardy into a clean sip.
How it is produced
The process begins promptly by vinifying the bunches within a few hours of harvesting. The must undergoes primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, a technique essential for preserving the original aromas of the varieties. The prise de mousse strictly follows the Metodo Classico, with a period of rest in environments at a constant temperature. This slow refermentation encourages the development of elegant, fine bubbles. The final result is a wine with a dynamic character, ideal to enjoy for its expressive freshness.
