This particular wine represents one of the most elegant and sophisticated expressions of the Clarabella winery, which is dedicated to organic and sustainable production.

The Franciacorta Essenza Pas Dosé is distinguished by its lack of dosage, meaning the absence of added sugars after the second fermentation, thus allowing the wine's true character to be experienced in its unaltered form. This choice leads to an extremely pure and complex wine, with notable freshness and mineral intensity.

Visually, the wine has a light straw-yellow color with fine and persistent bubbles, a sign of the long bottle maturation that lasts at least 30 months on the lees. On the nose, the Franciacorta Essenza Pas Dosé offers an intriguing bouquet with notes of fresh citrus, white flowers, and hints of toasted bread and almonds, due to the lengthy sur-lie aging.

On the palate, the absence of dosage expresses itself with a lively freshness and a rich structure, supported by balanced acidity and a saline minerality that lingers in the aftertaste. Flavors of lemon and green apple blend with delicate touches of yeast and hazelnut, contributing to a clean and persistent finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, this Franciacorta is also capable of pairing with a variety of dishes, from light starters to seafood-based dishes, making it extremely versatile at the table.

Ultimately, the Franciacorta Essenza Pas Dosé DOCG from Clarabella is a wine that celebrates the purity of the terroir and the winemaking art of Franciacorta, recommended for lovers of sophisticated sparkling wines seeking a pure and stimulating tasting experience.
