Sparkling wines Franciacorta Brut NITENS DOCG Le Marchesine

Description of the wine

The production of this sensational Franciacorta Brut which boasts DOCG certification involves the use of blended Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Noir grapes. The origin of the grapes falls within the Le Marchesine di Biatta Giovanni & C. – Passirano, Brescia. The harvest takes place with entry into the vineyard in September and involves manual harvesting in boxes of maximum 18 kg. The vinification takes place in white in a pneumatic press with soft pressing of the whole grapes and separation of the 1st and 2nd fraction. After static and physical separation from the impurities of the must at low temperatures, selected yeasts are inoculated for fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This is followed by decanting and lowering the temperature to around 10°C to avoid malolactic fermentation. Once the "draft syrup" has been added, it is bottled, capped with a crown cap and laid flat in a stack for secondary fermentation.
