Winemaking and Aging

The Franciacorta DOCG 'Cuvée Prestige - Edizione 47' is produced using the Metodo Classico, also known as the traditional method, the same used for Champagne. After fermentation in steel, the base wines are blended from over one hundred different wines from three different vintages to ensure complexity and stylistic consistency. This is followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle and a long maturation on the lees of at least 25 months, during which the wine acquires its finesse, creaminess, and characteristic aromatic profile. The Jéroboam format, at 3 liters, allows for an even more harmonious evolution thanks to the slow aging in the large bottle, which enhances its depth and persistence.
