Franciacorta Docg Brut Montina

The Franciacorta DOCG Brut La Montina is a high-quality Franciacorta wine from the region of Franciacorta, located in the western part of Lombardy, Italy. This region is renowned for producing some of Italy's best sparkling wines, thanks to its temperate climate and mineral-rich hilly soils. Franciacorta DOCG Brut La Montina is made primarily from Chardonnay grapes, with a small percentage of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. These grapes are grown in vineyards located on rolling hills that benefit from excellent sun exposure and clay and limestone soil, ideal for the production of high quality wines. The production process of Franciacorta DOCG Brut La Montina follows the Franciacorta method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle. After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and the resulting must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Next, the wine is bottled with the addition of selected yeasts, which cause the second fermentation and the formation of bubbles. Franciacorta DOCG Brut La Montina is aged on the lees for a period of at least 18 months, during which the wine acquires complexity and structure. After this period, the bottles undergo remuage, a process that allows the yeasts to settle on the neck of the bottle. Finally, disgorgement, or removal of the yeasts, is performed, and the wine is permanently corked. Franciacorta DOCG Brut La Montina is characterized by its bright straw yellow color, its fine and persistent perlage and its aromas of white flowers, fresh fruit and yeasts. On the palate it is fresh, elegant and well balanced, with a pleasant mineral note. This sparkling wine pairs perfectly with fish, shellfish and shellfish dishes, but can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or with fresh cheeses and delicate cured meats.
