Vinification of the Blanc Extra Brut Franciacorta DOCG from Contadi Castaldi

The grapes for the Blanc Extra Brut Franciacorta DOCG come from selected sites in the Franciacorta growing region. The vines grow on calcareous soils, which lend the wines a fine minerality. Cultivation is carried out according to strict guidelines to ensure the quality of the grapes. The early and gentle harvest in September ensures ripe and sound grapes.

Vinification begins with gentle pressing of the grapes. The must from a first pressing is used to guarantee the purity and finesse of the wine. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for several months. This is followed by the second fermentation in the bottle, which is responsible for the characteristic perlage. The bottles mature on the lees for at least 24 months, giving the wine additional depth and complexity. After disgorgement, the wine is given a dosage that lends it its typical sweet nuances without diminishing its freshness.
