The Franciacorta Brut DOCG by San Cristoforo represents the excellence of Lombard viticulture, celebrated for its refinement and impeccable balance. Produced in the prestigious Franciacorta area, this sparkling wine is primarily made from Chardonnay grapes, with the addition of Pinot Nero, which gives structure and depth to the blend.

The winemaking follows the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, just like Champagne, with a maturation period on the yeast that lasts at least 24 months. This meticulous process endows San Cristoforo’s Franciacorta Brut with complexity and an aromatic bouquet of irresistible elegance.

On the nose, the Franciacorta is distinguished by its delicate notes of white flowers, green apple, and a slight hint of bread crust, thanks to the long period of refinement on the yeasts. On the palate, balance is key: the attack is fresh and lively, evolving into a soft and harmonious sensation, with a clean and persistent finish.

The visual appearance is equally inviting, with a fine and persistent perlage that reflects the quality and care in the production of this sparkling wine. The color is a pale straw yellow, with bright reflections that anticipate the vivacity of the wine.

Ideal as an aperitif, the Franciacorta Brut DOCG by San Cristoforo is also a versatile companion for various dishes. It pairs wonderfully with light starters, fish and seafood dishes, and is also an excellent choice for celebrating special moments.

In conclusion, the Franciacorta Brut DOCG by San Cristoforo is an example of how tradition and care can converge in a glass to create a complete sensory experience, capable of satisfying the most demanding and refined palates.
