Ferghettina Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut 0,75 ℓ

What kind of wine is it?Franciacorta Extra Brut Ferghettina is a Franciacorta made in Lombardy from Chardonnay and Pinot Nero. The style is dry and well-defined, with a delicate yet persistent taste profile designed to highlight balance and precision. The sparkling process follows the Traditional Method, thanks to a second fermentation in the bottle and lengthy aging on the lees, resulting in a more complex and precise texture.Where does it come from?The grapes come from the hills of Franciacorta, from vineyards situated about 250 meters above sea level. The soils are calcareous-clayey, a context that promotes regular ripening and supports a smoothly structured palate. These plots yield base wines suitable for extended aging on the lees, preserving consistency and definition.How is it produced?Harvesting takes place by hand in mid-August. Vinification proceeds separately for each vineyard: after gentle pressing, only the free-run must is used, which ferments in stainless steel tanks at 16–18°C. After blending the cuvée, secondary fermentation begins in the bottle, followed by aging 72 months on the lees, a stage that cements finesse and continuity on the palate.Tasting notesIn the glass, it shows a deep golden yellow. The nose reveals notes of almond and vanilla, with hints of candied fruit. On the palate, it is delicate and persistent, with a well-centered balance and a dry, clean finish, true to its Extra Brut style.Food pairingsIt is ideal as an aperitif for those seeking a Franciacorta with a crisp, dry profile. At the table, it goes well with soups and seafood dishes, thanks to its persistence and precise finish. It is therefore well-suited for seafood courses where freshness and linearity help maintain harmony.When to serve itIt is best enjoyed chilled, in a convivial setting ranging from aperitif to a seafood meal. The extended 72-month lees aging makes it already harmonious, with sustained flavor and persistence that complements food pairings. Careful serving allows its aromatic precision and Extra Brut balance to shine through.
