Description
What kind of wine it is
The Chardonnay is the soul of this Franciacorta Brut by Vezzoli, an organic sparkling wine with a fresh and savoury profile. Produced using the Traditional Method, it stands out for its intense straw-yellow colour and a fine and elegant perlage. On the nose, it reveals delicate floral notes, grapefruit zest, pineapple and coconut. On the palate, it is harmonious and fruity, with a finish characterised by fragrant hints of bread crust.
Where it comes from
This wine is born in Lombardy, in the municipality of Erbusco, in the heart of Franciacorta. The Vezzoli winery enhances an excellent terroir through organic agronomic management of the Chardonnay. This approach reflects respect for the soil, ensuring the glass has a marked savouriness and offering an authentic expression of the area's winemaking vocation.
How it is produced
Production strictly follows the steps of the Traditional Method. After the prise de mousse in the bottle, the wine undergoes 18 months of ageing on the lees, an essential practice to enrich its structure and aromatic complexity. With a residual sugar of 4.5 g/L and an acidity of 6.3 g/L, the excellent dry extract defines the balanced and enveloping profile of this label.
History and Curiosities
Born in Erbusco from the passion of the Vezzoli family, this organic Franciacorta is an authentic expression of Lombard excellence. Produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes using the traditional method, it matures thanks to 18 months of ageing on the lees. This artisanal care gives the palate a splendid savoury harmony, enriched by hints of bread crust and enveloped by a fine and elegant perlage. Awarded by the Veronelli guide, the wine offers delicate floral nuances intertwined with lively notes of yellow peach and pineapple.
