It is a \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico sparkling wine\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it is produced with a second fermentation in the bottle, just like Champagne, which gives the wine finesse, complexity, and a creamier, more persistent effervescence.\nThe name \"Salvàdek,\" which means \"wild\" in the local Brescian dialect, aptly expresses the free and authentic character of this Franciacorta: decisive yet balanced, elegant, and at the same time vibrant.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2016 vintage is considered one of the best for Franciacorta. The harvest, which took place between late August and early September, benefited from a balanced climate: after a regular spring, the summer brought warm days but with good diurnal temperature variations. These conditions allowed for the harvesting of healthy and perfectly ripe grapes, with an intense aromatic profile and lively acidity, essential for a long-aging Extra Brut.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta DOCG 'Salvàdek' Extra Brut 2016 - Monte Rossa\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily made from \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, with a small percentage of reserve wine that adds structure and complexity.\nFermentation occurs partly in stainless steel, to preserve freshness and varietal aromas, and partly in oak barriques, which imparts softer notes and subtle toasted nuances.\nThis is followed by long aging on the lees in the bottle for at least \u003cstrong\u003e30 months\u003c\/strong\u003e, a period that enriches the aromatic bouquet with hints of bread crust and biscuit. The final stage, \"disgorgement,\" involves removing the spent yeasts and definitively sealing the bottle: from this moment, the wine is ready to be enjoyed.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant straw yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e with golden reflections. The perlage – or the flow of bubbles – is fine and continuous, a sign of careful aging and a high-level production method.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe aroma is complex yet pleasant: notes of ripe fruit, candied citrus, and white flowers emerge, followed by hints of yeast, almond, and delicate nuances of vanilla. The balance between freshness and evolution is the key to its charm.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003edry and fresh\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a harmonious structure and a creamy effervescence that amplifies the citrus and mineral sensations. The lively acidity supports a long, clean, and slightly savory finish, inviting a second glass.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings for Franciacorta DOCG 'Salvàdek' Extra Brut 2016 - Monte Rossa\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis Franciacorta Extra Brut is an ideal wine to accompany special moments and elegant dinners, but also to enhance simple dishes.
