Describing the "Extra Brut Franciacorta DOCG - Magnum - Le Cantorie" is like diving into a narrative that celebrates the excellence of Italian winemaking. This prestigious sparkling wine hails from the meticulously cultivated vineyards of Franciacorta, a region renowned for producing top-tier sparkling wines, thanks to its unique microclimate and fertile terroir.
Le Cantorie’s Franciacorta Extra Brut is a sublime expression of this territory, presented in a Magnum format that accentuates its qualities and promises an even richer and more intense tasting experience. This wine is primarily made from Chardonnay grapes, with a small percentage of Pinot Nero, partially fermented in small wooden containers to impart greater aromatic complexity.
Visually, the wine displays a brilliant straw-yellow color, animated by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, elegant notes of green apple and citrus emerge, enriched by hints of yeast and fresh bread, characteristic of the long bottle aging following the traditional method used in Franciacorta.
On the palate, the Franciacorta Extra Brut expresses a magnificent acidic freshness, balanced by a solid and refined structure. The flavors of fresh fruit blend with a slight creaminess, a result of the prolonged contact with the yeasts, offering a clean and persistent finish that invites another sip.
This wine is ideal as an aperitif but has the structure to accompany light appetizers and fish dishes. The Magnum presentation makes it a standout choice for special occasions, promising to elevate every moment with its elegant and festive presence.

A winery perched on Casaglio Hill, in the heart of eastern Franciacorta.
Production focused on Franciacorta DOCG with extended maturation on the lees.
Family-run management with a strong emphasis on women's involvement in hospitality and production.
Estate-owned hillside vineyards with favourable exposures between Gussago and Cellatica.
The range includes Satèn, Brut, Rosé, Nature and reserve wines, as well as local red wines.
Winery history
The winery was founded and has grown as a family-run business led by the Bontempi family. The name Le Cantorie comes from the local dialect and evokes the song of the cicadas that enlivens the hillside. Over generations the estate has converted and outfitted its historic spaces, combining local heritage with modern production interventions and techniques.
Production philosophy
The estate declares a strong connection to the territory: it cultivates only estate-owned hillside vineyards, prioritizes quality in the vineyard and applies cellar practices aimed at enhancing the expression of the terroir. For its Franciacorta it favors long aging periods and the use of the traditional method; at the same time it highlights local red wines through reserves and selections.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located on terraced slopes between Gussago and Cellatica, in eastern Franciacorta: calcareous-clay soils, a marked diurnal temperature range, predominantly south-facing exposure and constant ventilation characterize the area and influence both the base wines for sparkling production and local reds such as Cellatica.
