'Animating' Franciacorta Extra Brut Barone Pizzini

This wine represents the soul of Barone Pizzini because it embodies the living nature of all its vineyards. It was born to crown the long and pioneering process of renewal in the vineyard and in the cellar which sanctioned the birthright of Barone Pizzini in the biological experience in Franciacorta . It is the result, like the other Barone Pizzini wines, of the choice towards processing methods, in the countryside and in the cellar, aimed at guaranteeing a superior quality of the wine, preserving intact the characteristics that an uncontaminated nature can give to the grapes. All the Barone Pizzini vineyards, in Franciacorta, in Tuscany (Poderi di Ghiaccioforte) and in the Marche (Pievalta) are certified according to the organic viticulture regulations. Its blend consists of 84% Chardonnay, 12% Pinot Noir, 4% Pinot Blanc from the best vineyards of Franciacorta. It is refined and perfected during 30 long months in the cellar, in the bottle lying down, on its lees, according to the rules of the classic method. In the glass it is light yellow with fine perlage, white hawthorn flowers. With the "classic" Brut sugar dosage, the palate is light, characterized by a soft bubble, by the freshness of the scents and sensations, and by a background of apple and lemon. The impression remains light, giving a pleasantness that refreshes and satisfies.
