This is a special Franciacorta, made using only grapes harvested in the best vintages and aged for over 8 years.
From the glass, rich aromas of vanilla and nutty notes like almond, along with hints of freshly baked bread and brioche, spread generously.
The palate is extremely delicate and creamy. The crisp, dry taste unique to Extra Brut is wonderfully balanced with the deep complexity derived from aging.
With its delicate bubbles and excellent balance, it pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes, from appetizers to main courses.
It goes well with seafood, white fish, crustaceans, and chicken dishes, as well as Japanese cuisine and sushi.
This versatile Franciacorta can be enjoyed throughout a meal, making it perfect for special dinners and celebrations.
Grapes harvested by hand are rigorously selected and fermented using the traditional method (Metodo Classico) with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
A portion is fermented in oak barrels to give the wine softness and complexity, and then aged with yeast for approximately 8 years.
After disgorgement, it is aged for another 5 months in the cellar, making it a long-aged Franciacorta released approximately 9 years after harvest.
