The wine region of Curtefranca
Lombard DOC renamed in 2008 (~2,800 ha south shore Lake Iseo, Brescia): signature Chardonnay as white king (50%) complemented by Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir — rich aromatic profile with lively acidity. Merlot (25%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10-35%), Cabernet Franc and Carmenère (20%) as red kings — structured Bordeaux style with black fruits and spice. Tempered lakeside microclimate, signature glacial moraines, still wines complementing neighbouring Franciacorta DOCG.
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: Noble rot
A fungus called botrytis cinerea that develops during the over-ripening phase, an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
