Franciacorta Brut La Gerla

Only the free-run must, made from a light pressing of grapes collected and sorted by hand, ferments in stainless steel tanks and remains at rest until it is bottled for the second fermentation. After an aging period of at least 20 months, the bottles are subjected to the operation of remuage and degorgement before being packaged and marketed, at least 2 months after that operation. The wine is pale yellow in color, fine and persistent at nose, with hints of bread crust and fragrance of white flowers. The taste is delicate, fresh and fruity. It has a pleasant, harmonious and balanced character. The soft and creamy froth brings a very fine and persistent perlage. Contains sulphites. Produced by Azienda Agricola "La Gerla" di Zanotti Marialuisa - Gussago - Italy.
