The wine

Imagine yourself in a historic villa in Lombardy, where time seems to have stood still. Here, in the heart of Capriolo, the Ricci Curbastro family has perfected the art of winemaking for 17 generations. Born from this legacy, the Franciacorta Metodo Classico Extra Brut DOCG is a sensory journey that unites history, tradition, and the future. Made with a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this wine is a tribute to the land from which it comes. The aging of 42 months in the cellar reveals a complexity that few other wines can boast. To the eye, the wine presents itself with crystalline brightness, while the nose offers a bouquet of aromas ranging from white-fleshed fruits to mineral notes. In the mouth, its structure is enveloping and creamy, with a finesse that only Extra Brut can offer. For a complete gastronomic experience, pair it with raw fish dishes or oysters. It is the ideal companion for an elegant dinner or a special celebration.
