Crafted using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, it offers a dry, broad sip with a pleasant creaminess. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour enlivened by a \u003cstrong\u003efine and persistent perlage\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the nose, aromas of white flowers, peach and jasmine emerge, enriched by delicate hints of hazelnut and vanilla. On the palate, it delivers a fresh, citrusy finish, ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003eraw fish, shellfish\u003c\/strong\u003e or a refined rice sartù.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in the heart of Franciacorta, in a region between Lake Iseo and the province of Brescia. Here, the vineyards benefit from a \u003cstrong\u003emicroclimate moderated\u003c\/strong\u003e by the presence of the lake, where temperature variations are essential for preserving the aromatic freshness of the grapes. The soil, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003ecomposition of clay and limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e, gives the wine a distinct \u003cstrong\u003eminerality\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant savouriness. It is precisely this environmental synergy that shapes a vibrant and harmonious flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in August with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the integrity of the bunches. Gentle pressing allows only the free-run must to be extracted, which ferments separately in steel tanks. In spring, the selection of base wines leads to the creation of the final \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the rules of the Traditional Method, followed by a slow \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees for thirty months\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process concludes with disgorgement and the addition of dosage syrup to achieve the Brut style.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Adro in 1991, \u003cstrong\u003eFerghettina Franciacorta Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e perfectly embodies the microclimate of Lake Iseo and the richness of its clay-limestone soils. The meticulous manual harvest and the exclusive use of the free-run must ensure superior elegance. Refined according to the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e for around 30 months on the lees, it reveals a persistent perlage and enveloping aromas of hazelnut and vanilla. This artisanal care has been rewarded with 90 points by \u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e, who describes a savoury and harmonious glass, perfect for enhancing refined pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ferghettina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503286743211,"sku":"502","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ferghettina-franciacorta-brut_502_1.jpg?v=1773659142","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/ferghettina-franciacorta-brut","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
