Descrizione

The Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut by Lo Sparviere represents a refined and distinctive expression of high-quality Italian sparkling wine. This wine is produced with a careful blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, grape varieties that provide an elegant structure and a complex bouquet. The production method follows the traditional technique of secondary fermentation in the bottle, giving this Franciacorta a rare and appreciable fineness of bubbles.

The Extra Brut by Lo Sparviere is known for its intensely fruity and floral aromatic profile, with hints of citrus, toasted bread, and mineral notes that come alive on the palate. Its well-balanced acidity and structure make this sparkling wine a perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes, from seafood to Asian cuisine, making every occasion a festive moment.

With a maturation that exceeds 30 months on the lees, this Franciacorta offers an impression of full body and a persistence that makes it memorable. Ideal for those seeking a sparkling wine that combines tradition, elegance, and a strong regional identity.

Winery history

The winery is located in an ancient country residence dating back to the 16th century; its name derives from the depiction of a sparrowhawk on the manor house’s fireplace. The estate is linked to the Gussalli Beretta family, and its recent management is attributable to Monique Poncelet Gussalli Beretta.

Production philosophy

Production focuses on expressing the terroir through grape selection, extended lees aging for the Franciacorta and the use of oak aging for some cuvées; the vineyards have been managed according to organic practices since 2013.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are situated in the hilly area of Franciacorta, southeast of Lake Iseo. The soils are characterised by calcareous marl and by the influence of pre-Alpine air, resulting in a relatively cool microclimate compared with lower-lying areas.
