TASTING NOTES
It is a Brut Nature, without added sugar in the dosage, obtained from the grapes of the best Franciacorta Crus and it is the result of a long aging on the yeasts. Its decisive and irrepressible character makes it a wine of great depth and strong intensity. The Monte Rossa hill is part of that crown of hills that closes Lake Iseo to the south with the beginning of the subalpine area and separates it from the river Po valley area. The vineyards are located where the air currents are increased due to the thermal exchanges between the Po Valley and Lake Iseo. The Crus that make up this Franciacorta are: Pratone, Barek, Brolo, Palo, Nespoli. The grapes are rigorously harvested by hand in boxes. After a careful selection, always manual, the grapes are transferred to the press. Soft pressing has a yield of no more than 48%. Each cru is vinified in purity, in 250 liter oak barrels between September and February. The refinement in the bottle lasts over 48 months. Production of the Cabochon Doppio Zero 2016: 3.000 bottles of lt. 0.75. Slightly golden yellow color with greenish reflections, fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals a wine of great finesse and elegance, with sweet hints of pêche plate and bergamot, notes of jasmine and touches of chamomile. In the mouth it is tense and crunchy, very persistent, with a floral and citrus return. Marvelous.
