FRANCIACORTA BRUT "MILLEDI" FERGHETTINA
In Ferghettina we have made the squaring of the circle. It is the "square" bottle. Thanks to the particular shape of the bottle, designed and patented by Matteo, Roberto's son, Franciacortas aged on yeasts can benefit from a wine-yeast contact surface two and a half times higher than that of a round bottle. The side of the bottle, in fact, is flat inside so that the surface where the yeasts are deposited is wider. The result of this contact translates into a greater release of manno-proteins and yeast lysate which qualitatively enrich the wine in aromatic components.
Franciacorta Milledi is an expression of minerality and flavor. We select for the cuvee of this Franciacorta the chardonnays from 12 different vineyards located in 8 municipalities of Franciacorta.
The vinification begins with the whole cluster grapes that are pressed with a pneumatic press at very delicate pressures, in which the musts are separated into two fractions: flower must, which has the best qualitative characteristics and which is used for the production of Franciacorta and second pressing must that is not destined for bottling. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 16 and 18 ° C. The base wine rests in the tank until the spring following the harvest.
Straw yellow color with green gold reflections. Fine and persistent perlage. In the mouth it shows elegant citrus and mineral notes. Of good persistence.
