Vintage Details

The Edizione 47 is born from the union of wines from multiple harvests, selected from the best company crus distributed across 141 vineyard parcels. The balanced climatic conditions of recent vintages have ensured healthy and perfectly ripe grapes, capable of offering an intense aromatic profile and optimal natural acidity, essential elements for obtaining a fine and persistent foam.

Winemaking and Aging

Winemaking strictly follows the Classic Method: after the first fermentation in steel tanks, each base wine is aged for several months before being blended into the final cuvée. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and matures for at least 25 months on its lees. During this period, it gains complexity and aroma. After disgorgement, a light dosage is performed, allowing the purity of the fruit and the typical minerality of the Franciacorta territory to emerge.
