Descrizione

Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut 2014 by Lo Sparviere is a sublime expression of Lombard viticulture. Made with a precise selection of Chardonnay grapes, this 2014 vintage sparkling wine stands out for its finesse and aromatic complexity. The production strictly follows the traditional method, with a long fermentation in the bottle that contributes to creating a delicate and persistent perlage.

Visually, the wine presents a bright golden yellow color, which anticipates a bouquet rich with nuances: from floral to fruity, with notes of citrus, green apple, and slight hints of bread crust, thanks to 36 months of aging on the lees. On the palate, Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut 2014 reveals great freshness and a balanced structure, with a long and savory finish that leaves a pleasant cleansing sensation.

Ideal as an aperitif, this wine also pairs perfectly with elaborate fish dishes and white meats. Its elegance and refinement make it perfect for special occasions, guaranteeing a memorable impression for enthusiasts of the genre.

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.
