Description
What kind of wine it is
Derbusco Cives Franciacorta Brut Doppio Erre Di is a sparkling wine produced using the Traditional Method, which enhances the excellence of the Brescia region. Born from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it displays a bright straw yellow colour enriched with delicate coppery highlights. The bouquet reveals aromas of linden, hawthorn and ripe white fruit, embellished with notes of liquorice, barley malt and roasted peanuts. On the palate, it expresses pronounced smoothness and a creamy sip, free from harshness, which carries the fruit towards a distinctly saline finish that is clean and refreshing.
Where it comes from
This Franciacorta originates in Erbusco, crafted by the Derbusco Cives winery. Founded in 2004, the company is dedicated to limited production to maintain high quality standards, highlighting its deep connection with the land. The strong local identity translates into great aromatic finesse and impeccable balance, making this sparkling wine extremely versatile at the table. It pairs perfectly with oysters, delicate vegetable starters, flavourful fish and cheeses, and finds perfect harmony even with traditional local dishes, such as the Sebino sardine pie.
How it is produced
Vinification uses exclusively the free-run must obtained from the first pressing of the grapes. To add structural depth, part of the base wine ferments in barrels. Maturation involves resting for at least thirty months on the lees, a crucial stage for achieving pronounced tactile creaminess. The stylistic hallmark of this label lies in the delayed disgorgement, from which the acronym Doppio Erre Di is derived. This careful management of ageing ensures purity and delivers a sip that is always fresh, complex and intact.
History and Curiosities
Founded in Erbusco in 2004 by the passion of five partners, the Derbusco Cives winery embodies artisanal excellence with a deliberately limited production. The prestigious Franciacorta Brut Doppio Erre Di is created from the free-run must, with part of the base wine fermenting in barriques. Under the guidance of oenologist Domenico Danesi, this refined traditional method matures for at least thirty months on the lees. The identity of this cuvée lies in the delayed disgorgement, a technical choice aimed at ensuring a vibrant and unmistakable freshness.

The building of the cellar was finished in March 2013. The architectural style is modern with a pentagonal emerging central body and a single pitched roof built in exposed bleached wood. The pentagon shape was chosen to represent the five founding partners of the winery. Alongside the pentagon there stand two wings of the building with a green roof garden. The outer walls are covered in natural cork. In the pentagonal central body, on the raised floor, there is a tasting room with wide windows and a terrace, overlooking the vineyards. On the ground and basement floors are the processing rooms of the winery. Read more
