The vines are trained using the Guyot system and kept at a low height to optimise sun exposure and grape ripening. The planting density ensures proper root competition, limiting the \u003cstrong\u003eyield per hectare\u003c\/strong\u003e and promoting a remarkable aromatic concentration in the berries. The unique characteristics of the soils and the microclimate give the grapes the ideal structure to support a \u003cstrong\u003elong maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e, clearly defining the territorial identity of this Franciacorta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes. In the winery, a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e of whole bunches is carried out using pneumatic presses, followed by clarification of the must at low temperatures. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks; afterwards, the temperature is lowered to inhibit malolactic fermentation and preserve the original freshness. With the addition of the tirage syrup, the \u003cstrong\u003esecondary fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e begins in the bottle, where the wine rests on the lees for at least twenty-four months. The process concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003eBrut dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e, which defines an ideal residual sugar content for a harmonious and balanced sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaunched with its first vintage in 1990, the iconic \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta Brut Nitens\u003c\/strong\u003e from Le Marchesine embodies the most authentic winemaking tradition of Lombardy.
