ABOUT THIS WINE

Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, this Franciacorta undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle following the traditional méthode Champenoise. The wine is aged on its lees for an extended period to develop complexity and enhance its creamy texture. With dosage kept low to achieve its Extra Brut style, it is bottled in early 2024 and is ideal for immediate enjoyment or for aging to further develop its nuanced character.
