standout very Franciacorta

about vineyards were first planted in 1968, with the first sparkling wines released in 1978. Certified organic since 2014, the winery has grown in size and become quite central to Franciacorta’s identity in style, presentation, and design.

“Cuvée Préstige” NV ($40)

75% Chardonnay, 22.5% Pinot Noir, 2.5% Pinot Blanc. 77% vintages wines (currently 2022), with reserve wines from the previous two years. Fermented in stainless steel, and left for seven months before bottling. 25 months lees ageing. 2.5g/l dosage. Very typical of Franciacorta: lively acidity, ripe stone fruit aromas, and a gentle lees texture: a very good wine but not a thrilling one. And given that the winery is certified organic, it’s confusing that the bottle is wrapped in garishly pink plastic.
