Franciacorta docg Brut Blanc de Noir Crisalis 2017

PINOT NERO: A GRAPE FOR THE ELECT FEW

Obtained from 100% pinot nero grapes, only the prime must from the first pressing is used. After a very brief maceration of a few hours to obtain the desired colour, a part of the base wine is fermented in barriques. The wine evolves for at least 60 months in contact with the yeasts before disgorgement.

Rousing, powerful and persistent. An untamed wine that encloses great energy within itself but at the same time is intensely pleasurable.

It is already well structured, but it is expected to have a great future.
