After a regular winter and an initially cool spring, the summer was warm but with good temperature excursions between day and night, favoring a harmonious ripening of the grapes. The harvest, carried out by hand between late August and early September, allowed only healthy and perfectly ripe grapes to be collected, ideal for obtaining sparkling wine bases of finesse and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta Extra Brut DOCG 2019 - Ricci Curbastro\u003c\/strong\u003e is made from Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grapes, with a small proportion of Pinot Noir, typical varieties of the area. After the first fermentation in steel, the base wines rest for a few months before blending and refermentation in the bottle, according to the Classic Method. The wine ages on its lees for at least 48 months (four years), developing aromatic complexity and a creamy and persistent mousse. After disgorgement, a minimum sugar dosage completes the balance, preserving the most authentic identity of the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow with golden reflections, enhanced by a fine and continuous perlage that speaks of its long stay on the lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bouquet is elegant and complex: notes of ripe fruit, citrus, and bread crust are recognizable, with mineral nuances and a slight hint of toasted hazelnut, typical of well-evolved Franciacorta wines.
