La Spensierata - Brut - Franciacorta DOCG - 75cl

                

1 BOTTLE X 75cl.

We have chosen to have vineyards distributed in all the vocational units defined in the Franciacorta zoning to have grapes that express the wide range of characteristics that this territory, so small but so heterogeneous, can give. Each plot is enhanced in its identity through separate vinifications from which we obtain base wines with a well-defined personality. Only after careful tastings, in the spring following the harvest, are they blended to create the cuvée that best expresses our project and our idea of Brut Franciacorta. Thus was born our Spensierata Franciacorta Brut.
