Descrizione

This Premier Cru Brut Nature Champagne from Louis Brochet presents a dry, forthright style that highlights the quality of the grapes and the finesse of the perlage. On the nose there are fresh citrus, green apple and white flowers, accompanied by delicate notes of yeast and bread crust that add complexity without weighing it down. The lack of dosage leaves the wine taut and luminous, with a more direct profile and a pleasant sapidity that invites the next sip.

On the palate it reveals vibrant freshness and a balance centered on acidity and minerality; the sip is elegant, medium-bodied, with notes of bitter almond and subtle echoes of white fruit that harmonize with a clean persistence. Ideal as an aperitif and a perfect match for seafood, shellfish and raw fish dishes, yet able to stand up to soft cheeses as well. Serve well chilled to appreciate its cleanliness and precision.

Winery history

The Folonari family has deep roots in the Brescia area and has been involved in wine production since the late 18th century. At the end of the 19th century the headquarters were moved to Brescia, and in the early 20th century the family acquired the historic Ruffino winery. In the 1960s Nino Folonari began a shift toward quality with the acquisition of estates in Chianti. In 2000 Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari established Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute, which brings together several estates in Tuscany, while the Folonari brand offers an extensive range of table wines and appellation wines.

Production philosophy

Enhance the production areas, combine tradition and innovation, and focus on grape quality to produce wines that are distinctive and closely tied to their territory; the company's plan includes investments in the estates and attention to the diversity of terroirs.

Terroir and vineyards

Headquarters and estates are mainly in Tuscany, with production and a presence also in north-eastern regions such as Veneto and in areas like the Collio; the company’s history begins in the Bresciano and includes references to territories around Lake Garda and beyond.
