2020 Technical Specifications
Total Acidity 6.9 g/L
Grape Varieties 75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Nero
Classification Franciacorta DOCG, Brut
Region Franciacorta
Harvest Dates Late August 2020
Vine Age 25
Dosage 2.0 g/L
Production Details Guyot training at 5,000 vines/ha and a grape yield of 100 q/ha. The tabular specification states élevage of 36% in pièces and 64% in stainless steel; the accompanying prose inconsistently says half of the wines matured for seven months in small oak barrels. The precise 36% table figure is retained alongside, rather than reconciled with, that internal conflict.
Tasting Notes Citrine-quartz yellow with very fine, persistent perlage; elderflower, Mediterranean herbs, spice, incense and flint; dense, bold, creamy and elegant, with a clean finish.
