In the heart of Franciacorta, at the foot of Monte Orfano, Barbalonga interprets Franciacorta Brut through an artisanal production deeply connected to the territory of Rovato. A small winery that has chosen to focus on producing Franciacorta, enhancing the quality of the grapes and taking a careful approach at every stage of production.
Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this Franciacorta is produced according to the Traditional Method, with hand-harvested grapes, gentle pressing and fermentation in steel tanks. The second fermentation takes place directly in the bottle, followed by long aging on the lees, which contributes to developing complexity, finesse and persistent bubbles.
In the glass, it appears straw yellow, with abundant froth and fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, aromas of ripe fruit, dried fruit and bread crust, while on the palate it is soft, intense and full-bodied, with a pleasant freshness and a harmonious finish.
It is an extremely versatile sparkling wine, ideal as an aperitif but capable of accompanying the entire meal: excellent with fish, shellfish, risottos, appetizers and white meats.

Winemaking
Winemaking
The grapes, rigorously hand-harvested between the second ten days of August and the first ten days of September, are pressed whole and fermented in steel at a controlled temperature of approximately 16/18°C. The sparkling wine base matures in steel on its lees, with periodic bâtonnage, until tirage and the prise de mousse, which takes place in late spring. The bottles are then left to age on their own lees for at least 18 months. After disgorgement, they undergo a further resting period of approximately 2 months.
