Franciacorta Extra Brut Freccianera 2020

Franciacorta Extra Brut is one of the most representative sparkling wines in the Freccianera range. A Metodo Classico elaborated with a long ageing on the lees of at least 50 months, it expresses an elegant and complex bouquet with fruity, citrus and bread crust aromas. The sip, long and persistent, retains a lively mineral freshness, a typical expression of the Franciacorta terroir. A prestigious label, particularly suitable for even important gastronomic pairings, with seafood menus or white meats.

Extra Brut Freccianera is produced from a blend of Chardonnay (60%), Pinot Blanc (30%), Pinot Noir (10%). The grapes come exclusively from the winery's own vineyards cultivated in the heart of the morainic hills of the Franciacorta region. The cool, breezy climate and the draining soils, rich in pebbles, have proved perfect for cultivating vines destined for Metodo Classico. After harvesting, the grapes are vinified separately with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The vins clairs rest for several months in steel before the cuvée is created and the second fermentation in the bottle, lasting at least 50 months before dégorgement.

Freccianera Franciacorta Extra Brut is an intense and complex Metodo Classico that has the particularity of being produced with a high percentage of Pinot Bianco, generally little used in Franciacorta blends, which tend instead to favour Chardonnay. A choice that contributes structure and finesse to the wine's bouquet. In the glass it has a straw-yellow colour with brilliant golden reflections. On the nose it expresses notes of white flowers, ripe fruit, pain brioches and toasted nuances. On the palate, it expresses good structure, deep and nuanced aromas that extend towards a persistent finish of great freshness.
