Description

A sparkling wine that, thanks to a specific production protocol, is less fizzy and has a more delicate flavor than the classic type. A fragrant wine, its style focuses heavily on the search for harmony between complexity and pleasantness, perfectly in tune with all the expressive sweetness typical of the Franciacorta region.

Tasting notes

The color is straw yellow, with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fresh and elegant, with clear aromas of hawthorn, bread crust, balsamic notes, and nuances of rennet apple, dried figs, and peanuts. Smooth on the palate, but not sweet, it has a fresh and pleasant flavor. The finish is long and decisive, making it a very pleasant wine.

Cellar

In the second half of the twentieth century, the furnace ceased operations and Vittorio Moretti took it over for one main reason: childhood memories of his wife Mariella, who spent her afternoons after school in this factory, which belonged to her godmother.
When Franciacorta was at the height of its development in the 1980s, Vittorio and Mariella Moretti decided together to convert the brickworks into a winery. Its spacious rooms and long brick-firing galleries proved perfect for maturing Franciacorta wines and welcoming wine enthusiasts. Thus, the former working place transformed its function, focusing on the land and the vineyard, while maintaining its origins, preserving the sobriety and serene style of Lombardy's agricultural estates.
A meticulous renovation, respecting the style of the original designs, transformed the ancient Fornace Biasca into the winery it is today. Spread over 7,000 square meters, the restoration project included a conservative restoration of the central body of the furnace, using the ground floor for winemaking and aging, the first floor for storage of the finished product, and the second floor for parties and events, seating over 300 people.
