There is no better way to celebrate the short but intense history of Franciacorta than to uncork a bottle produced right where the famous Lombardy sparkling wine was born. The year was 1961. The oenologist was Franco Ziliani and the cellar was that of the famous Guido Berlucchi. The one proposed here is the Brut cuvée of a line dedicated by the historic Corte Franca winery precisely to that invention. Chardonnay in clear predominance with a hint of Pinot Noir, the grapes come from the most suitable vineyards in the 19 communes of Franciacorta. Soft mousse with good persistence, thanks to the fine, continuous perlage, this sparkling wine has a beautiful straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights. The nose is fresh, rich and elegant. Notes of white-fleshed fruit and citrus scents are also found on the palate. In the mouth it is fresh, well supported by pleasant acidity, but also soft and well balanced. Perfect as an aperitif, it also does not disdain a place on the table. For a territorial pairing, we can pair it with classic casoncelli, the tasty traditional stuffed ravioli, or with a lake fish dish, such as risotto with perch or a char fillet. But wine is versatile and can adapt to a thousand situations. The only limit might be our imagination.
