Details and technical informations about Winery Gusto's Franciacorta Brut.
Discover the grape variety: Durif
Powerful, deeply coloured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and dense palate. Intense aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, black pepper, chocolate, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Near-extinct in France, it became a star as Petite Sirah in California (Napa, Lodi, Paso Robles) and is emblematic of Rutherglen, Australia. French variety created in 1880 by François Durif in the Isère (spontaneous cross of Syrah × Peloursin).

The wine region of Franciacorta
The Italian Champagne, the country's largest DOCG zone for classic-method sparklers. Fine, refined bubbles with signature notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, toasted almond and white flowers, taut and creamy finish (18 months minimum on lees, up to 60 for Riserva). Based on dominant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir for structure, Pinot Blanc for roundness. Satèn (low pressure, silky) and fruity rosé versions.
The wine region of Lombardia
Three poles. Franciacorta DOCG, Italy's answer to Champagne: elegant brioche traditional-method sparklers (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc), fine bubble and mineral profile. Alpine Valtellina: Nebbiolo (alias Chiavennasca) with fine tannins and red fruits, powerful Sforzato passito. Oltrepò Pavese: fresh Pinot Noir and fruity-sparkling Bonarda.
The word of the wine: Rebêche (champagne)
Must obtained in excess of the 2 550 litres authorised for a weight of 4 000 kilos of grapes. The first 2 050 litres constitute the cuvée and the next 500 litres the taille. The rebêche represents 1 to 3 % of the total volume and must be distilled or used to make ratafia.
