Description
What kind of wine it is
Vezzoli Franciacorta Brut Magnum is a sparkling wine from Lombardy, a clear expression of Chardonnay crafted using the Traditional Method. In the glass, it displays an intense straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine and elegant perlage. On the nose, it releases floral notes, grapefruit zest, yellow peach, pineapple and dried coconut. On the palate, it is harmonious and savoury, with distinct hints of bread crust, making it ideal for enhancing shellfish and seafood pasta dishes.
Where it comes from
It originates in Erbusco, in the heart of Franciacorta, an area with an undisputed vocation for sparkling wines. The Vezzoli brand is run with a strong family management. Through a rigorous organic and sustainable approach, the winery protects biodiversity and encourages the development of grapes with great aromatic concentration. The geological identity of these soils imparts a defined minerality, which translates into the characteristic freshness of this sparkling wine.
How it is produced
The winemaking process includes ageing on the lees for at least eighteen months, a stage that enhances the fragrance and structural softness. The brut dosage precisely balances residual sugars and acidity, resulting in a dry and measured drink, supported by a solid dry extract. This technical precision ensures excellent aromatic integrity, guaranteeing an ageing potential that can reach up to a decade.
History and Curiosities

This elegant Franciacorta DOCG in Magnum format enhances the purity of Chardonnay grapes, processed strictly according to the Traditional Method. The precious ageing on the lees for at least eighteen months gives the sparkling wine a refined perlage and an enveloping complexity. Certified as an organic and sustainable wine, it represents an excellent choice, acclaimed by critics, capable of evolving and expressing its utmost harmony in the cellar even for an entire decade.
