Spumantizzato - A sparkling white wine obtained by the classical method from chosen Chardonnay (85%) and black Pinot (15%) grapes matured and improved in its own yeasts in bottles for more than 24 months. A straw yellow colour laden with shades of green. A harmonious froth, fine perlage (tiny bubbles), an abundant very delicate flavour. A mixed perfume with hints of mature fruit and spices. Excellent as an aperitif, it goes extremely well with all courses as far as cheese. It is served at a temperature of between 8 to 10° centigrade. In particularly good years it is ‘millesimato’, a vintage-dated Franciacorta, lengthening the refinement time in bottles for more than 37 months to enhance to a maximum the flavour and perfume characteristics.
