Description:

It appears straw yellow in the glass, with a fine and persistent perlage, fragrant and clean on the nose, with decisive notes of green apple combined with tones of citrus peel, toasted hazelnut and bread crust that prelude a pulpy but dry sip, with a very pleasant balance between freshness and saline intake.

Produced in the easternmost part of Franciacorta, in the Gussago subzone characterized by calcareous soils, this blend of 80% Chardonnay and 80% Pinot Noir is vinified as a white wine by Nicola Gatta, a winemaker whose production philosophy is based on the pursuit of authenticity and respect for the terroir. Low yields, abstention from chemical additives, and a focus on perfect maturation of the grapes according to biodynamic principles are among the hallmarks of Gatta's production, which continues in the cellar with spontaneous fermentations without subsequent fining or filtration, and again with zero dosage. Previously, the label also bore the designation "30 lune," indicating the number of months spent on the fine lees after secondary fermentation in the bottle.
