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.
