Brut “Secolo Novo” Millesimato Franciacorta DOCG 2013

Secolo Novo comes from selections of Chardonnay grapes, from a vineyard located on the La Santissima di Gussago hill at around 300m above sea level. Harvest by hand in small crates, very slow and soft pressing of the whole bunches. Controlled pure fermentation at 17°/19°C, with Native yeasts to maintain the flavor and aromas of Franciacorta intact. Maturation in stainless steel tanks. In spring, the wine is bottled for the second fermentation, which lasts at least 36 months.

Shiny green gold color, very subtle effervescence. Broad nose with honeyed tones, with mineral and saline hints given by the hill of origin; notes of sweet spices and marzipan, white flowers and pear. Dry and slim sip with balsamic and saline returns, of great persistence.

A large plate of crudités. Crustaceans and molluscs.
