The Franciacorta Secolo Novo 2005 Brut D.O.C.G. stems from clonal selections of Chardonnay grapes. Displays a yellow colour with green reflections. The perlage is very fine and persistent, the bouquet delicate and compact. A dry taste is followed by the distinctive finish of its full flavour.
Vinification: the whole grapes undergo a very slow and soft pressing. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperature ( 17 - 19 degrees Celsius) with indigenus yeasts, in order to maintain the flavours and the aromas of Franciacorta. After the fermentation, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks. In March and April the wine is bottled, and the process to induce the sparkling takes place. Then the bottles are stored in rooms at controlled temperature ( 12 - 14 degrees Celsius ), for at least 36 months. After that period, the Franciacorta D.O.C.G. Brut presents its particular flavour and aroma, together with the finest perlage. The wine is then ready for the final stages: remuage, dégorgement and labelling.
Alcohol content: 12,5% vol.
