Franciacorta Secolo Novo...
Brigantia - Franciacorta Satén Millesimato<br /><br />Alkohol: 13% Vol.<br />Residual sugar: 10gr/lt<br />Grape varieties used: Chardonnay in purity<br />Training system: Guyot 90/100 cm from the ground<br />Planting system: 2.5×0.85 m<br />Plant density: 4,500/5,000 plants/ha<br />Average grape yield per hectare: about 100 q.li per hectare<br />Grape selection: in the vineyard with manual harvesting into crates of a maximum of 18 kg.<br />White vinification in pneumatic press with soft pressing of the whole grapes and separation of the 1st and 2nd fractions. After static and physical separation from the<br />impurities of the must at low temperatures, selected yeasts are inoculated for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This is followed by racking and<br />lowering the temperature to around 10°C to avoid malolactic fermentation. Once the 'draught syrup' has been added, which contains a maximum of 18gr/lt of sugar to<br />enhance the softness and 'silkiness' of the wine, it is bottled, corked with a crown cap and laid down in a pile for frothing.<br />Ageing in bottles: 36 months on average<br /><br />Beautiful, bright straw yellow, where gold peeps out, minute effervescence, great continuity.<br /><br />The bouquet is initially shy, opening gently with notes of vanilla and white chocolate, followed by wild flowers and chamomile, then almond milk and white pepper, closing<br />with chalky scents and oyster water.<br />On the palate it is creamy, the effervescence denotes great envelopment; it has excellent persistence, complete, tasty and rich in nuances of pastries, ripe yellow fruit, at<br />times exotic and citrus meringues.<br />To be served at 6-8° in a medium-sized goblet; a wine that is not afraid of rising temperatures.<br />It can be served on the table just about anywhere, from starters inspired by the woods, such as a carpaccio of porcini mushrooms, or meat tartare, even game, such as<br />venison, or tartare or carpaccio of fish and shellfish with spicy condiments, pepper and ginger.<br />Going down the boot you can think of combining it with dishes that use spicy ingredients, to enhance its creamy side.<br />If you want to accompany its creamy, milky notes, you could pair it with a cheese made from mixed milks, the three-milk tome or some mature robiola.<br />
