Description:

Bright straw yellow with golden highlights, the nose presents an elegant and complex bouquet, characterized by notes of bread crust, ripe white fruit, and delicate citrus aromas. Subtle notes of white flowers and a light touch of yeast are also discernible. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, with a fine and persistent perlage, balanced with a good acidity that perfectly balances the structure. Flavors of golden delicious apple, pear, and an undertone of dried fruit emerge, before a long, minerally finish. Produced according to the classic method, with a second fermentation in the bottle and aging on the lees for at least 24 months, it is a refined and versatile sparkling wine, perfect as an aperitif but also paired with fish dishes, shellfish, delicate white meats, and fresh cheeses.

The Vezzoli winery, located in the heart of Franciacorta, boasts a long tradition of producing high-quality sparkling wines. The vineyards, cultivated on mineral-rich morainic soils, benefit from the area's unique microclimate, influenced by the proximity of Lake Iseo. The winery expertly combines traditional techniques and modern innovations to produce Franciacorta wines that best express the terroir's characteristics.
