Franciacorta Nature Freccianera 2021

The Franciacorta Nature Millesimato Freccianera is a sparkling wine with a dry and pure taste, crafted by excluding any sugar dosage, respecting the character of the grapes and the territory. Among the factors that contribute to determining the aromatic fragrance and freshness of the sparkling wines signed by Freccianera, a significant role is attributed to the characteristic climate of the Franciacorta area, a climate that is at times sub-Alpine and at times Mediterranean, influenced by the winter temperature regulation of the nearby Lake Iseo and the summer breezes coming from the Alta Valle Camonica.

The Freccianera Millesimato Franciacorta Nature comes from a blend of Chardonnay (85%) and Pinot Nero (15%) grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the family located in the territories of Borgonato di Corte Franca, Torbiato di Adro, and Provaglio d’Iseo. In particular, the vines are situated on calcareous-sandy soils of morainic origin at an altitude of 250 meters above sea level, with a south to southeast exposure. The harvest is carried out entirely by hand in crates and the bunches are then softly pressed whole with pneumatic presses. This is followed by the natural cold sedimentation of the must and then the alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The sparkling base then matures on the fine lees until the tirage, carried out in the spring following the harvest according to the Classic Method technique. After 30 months of aging on the lees in the bottle, the process concludes with the disgorgement and the consequent non-dosage, as Brut Nature.

The Franciacorta Nature Freccianera Millesimato has a straw yellow color with golden reflections and fine effervescence. A rich floral nose, composed of notes of white flowers and candied citrus that meet delicate spicy hints. The tasting is dry, taut, and lively, not lacking a certain softness, with a dynamic finish in which a strong mineral tone emerges.
