An Extra Brut Franciacorta from Vigneti Cenci that presents a luminous straw color and an ultra-fine mousse. On the nose it offers a compact but sincere profile: fresh citrus and green apple balanced with notes of toasted bread and a subtle floral hint. The aromatic texture is direct, without frills, and hints at a dry, nervy character; the acidity is present but well integrated with a pleasant mineral sapidity that underscores its cleanliness, revealing a finesse that invites tasting.

On the palate it confirms the Extra Brut style: a dry, lively and lean sip, with elegant bubbles that support a precise, thirst-quenching drink. The structure is restrained yet solid, able to accompany not-too-elaborate seafood dishes, oysters and shellfish, or a gastronomic aperitif where freshness and clarity are required. Serve chilled to appreciate the aromatic clarity and the sapid persistence that closes the sip, leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness.

Winery history
La realtà nasce attorno alla cascina storica chiamata La Boscaiola: negli anni '60 Nelson Cenci rilevò la proprietà e riportò in produzione i vigneti semiabbandonati, avviando l'attività che la famiglia Cenci porta avanti ancora oggi con le generazioni successive.
Production philosophy
Produzione orientata al rispetto del territorio e alla qualità: si punta a esaltare il terroir del Monte Orfano usando soltanto gli zuccheri endogeni dell'uva nelle fermentazioni e favorendo pratiche che esprimano mineralità e profumi naturali delle uve.
Terroir and vineyards
Vigneti situati a Cologne (BS), sul versante del Monte Orfano in Franciacorta; suoli minerali e buona esposizione a sud favoriscono la maturazione soprattutto del Pinot Bianco.
