The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003emoraine soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose characteristics give the grapes an ideal balance between freshness and minerality. Enrico Gatti works as an independent winemaker, adopting a strict \u003cstrong\u003elow-impact viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e. The agronomic management is based on the analysis of microclimates and the protection of soil fertility, using organic fertilisers and excluding the use of pesticides and herbicides.

After clarification of the must, the first fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature. After six months of maturation, the second fermentation in the bottle begins with the addition of the liqueur de tirage, following the rules of the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wine rests in underground cellars for \u003cstrong\u003eat least twenty-four months on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, thus developing its structure. A further three months of rest after disgorgement ensures the achievement of perfect taste harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1986, the Enrico Gatti family has embodied the spirit of the independent winemaker, inseparably linking this Brut to the prestigious territory of \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta\u003c\/strong\u003e.
