It is made using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e – the same method used for Champagne – where the second fermentation occurs directly in the bottle, giving the wine unique finesse and complexity.\nThis Brut Millesimato perfectly represents the elegant and distinctive style of the Derbusco Cives winery: a wine that tells the story of its terroir and vintage, with a balanced personality between freshness, structure, and softness.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2016 vintage in Franciacorta was characterized by regular weather patterns, with a dry summer and moderate temperatures. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, cultivated on stony and mineral-rich soils, produced ripe and healthy grapes, ensuring excellent \u003cstrong\u003egrape quality\u003c\/strong\u003e and a particularly fine and balanced aromatic profile.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta Brut DOCG 'Le Millesimé' 2016 - Derbusco Cives\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced through a gentle pressing of the grapes to obtain only the free-run must, the most valuable part. After the first fermentation in steel tanks, the wine rests on its lees in the bottle for at least \u003cstrong\u003e44 months\u003c\/strong\u003e. This long aging gives the sparkling wine remarkable gustatory complexity and a pleasant creaminess on the palate. The subsequent disgorgement (the phase in which the exhausted yeasts are removed) occurs shortly before commercial release, to ensure freshness and aromatic integrity.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebright straw yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e with golden reflections, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage that anticipates the elegance of the sip.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is refined and articulate: notes of ripe yellow fruit and citrus blend with hints of bread crust, hazelnut, and subtle floral nuances.
