Franciacorta Vendemmia Pas Operé, Bellavista

FRANCIACORTA VENDEMMIA PAS OPERÉ

Classicism

The speed and determination shown in perceiving the essential components that can communicate the most authentic meaning of the concept of tradition throughout history. A strict selection of harvests from what are considered the best vineyard plots. High hillside vineyards that on average are at least 30 years old and with prevailingly south-easterly exposures. The blending of 40 harvest selections that have been pursued and produced to express an extremely essential, resolute, refined and elegant character, without any room for compromise. Conceived to celebrate the value of true bonds that last in time. The production process, inspired by long-standing traditions, involves fermentation of approximately 50% of the must in small white oak casks. Time and 6 years of solitude in our cellars will transform this strict selection into a perfectly harmonious whole that recalls thoughts of wisdom

Grapes

65% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot nero

Tasting notes

A pale, lively and intense mousse while its perlage is fine, continuous and persistent. The crystalline reflections, the purity and depth of colour leave one fascinated: the straw yellow hues tend towards brilliant gold. The intense bouquet reveals its complexity along with its remarkable purity. It follows on with an ample, embracing elegance, discreet yet persistent with nuances of honey, apples, camomile and a slight touch of vanilla, aniseed and Mediterranean herbs. The flavour is full and dry, without compromise. With considerable structure but at the same time notable elegance. It has remarkable persistence on the palate with attractive notes of ripe fruit. Its excellent and very direct acidity endows the lively and persistent texture with a distinctive and unparalleled silkiness
