The wine
Elegant and refined like the name it bears. Produced with selected Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, it represents one of the finest expressions of Franciacorta production. It has a golden color with brilliant reflections and is characterized by heady notes of ripe fruit. It is a wine of great harmony and complexity, whose personality expresses the most classic tradition of these lands.

Vinification
The whole bunches, harvested manually, were directly subjected to a soft pressing and the 'flower' must obtained from the first pressing, underwent the first alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature. In the spring of the following year, the wine began the second fermentation process in the bottle, remaining in contact with the lees for a long period.
