Essence Noir

Franciacorta Extra Brut Millesimato

THE ESSENCE OF THE TERROIR

Since being established, the selection of vineyards has always focused on the Morainic hills of Monticelli Brusati, which are rich with marl and limestone rock, resulting in grapes with a distinct aroma and flavour.

This Franciacorta represents the pure, distinct expression of Pinot Noir, with significant development potential and extraordinary lasting flavour that combines strength and elegance.

This blanc de noirs vintage is made solely with pressed grapes with a must yield of 30%.  The finest parcels are matured in French oak tonneaux for 6 months to enhance its complexity and elegance; the alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in steel containers, safeguarding the aromatic purity and freshness of the fruit.
Resting on the lees lasts for at least 50 months, enriching the wine with depth and developing nuances.

This Franciacorta can be enjoyed on its own or accompanied by dishes with a strong flavour.
