Discover the exquisite wine region of Italy - Franciacorta.
Franciacorta is the most famous wine-producing area in Lombardy, south of Lake Iseo. The region's territory is only 250 km². The high-quality sparkling wines, which have Franciacorta DOCG status in the Italian wine classification, are the most well-known. The wines are made using the Champagne method, and production only started 50 years ago. In 1991, the Franciacorta brand was registered as the Italian answer to French Champagne! The best vineyards have made Franciacorta one of the most recognizable wine brands.
The package includes CORTE AURA PAS DOSE FRANCIACORTA, CORTE AURA BRUT FRANCIACORTA and CORTE AURA BRUT SATEN FRANCIACORTA.
CORTE AURA PAS DOSE FRANCIACORTA
Grapes: Chardonnay (65%), Pinot Nero (35%)
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Description: Franciacorta, which sounds like "Insé" (which means "in itself" in Italian), adding nothing to the integrity and authenticity that characterizes pas dosé. In the glass, it demonstrates unique complexity with pronounced aromas of honey sweetness, thyme and fragrant herbs, elegance of subtle notes of vanilla and toast. On the palate, it shows uncompromising integrity of pas dose combined with the balance of great Franciacorta - structure and refinement.
Pairing: Perfect with shellfish, salty or freshwater fish. It also pairs well with traditional appetizers or soft, pungent and rich cheeses.
CORTE AURA BRUT FRANCIACORTA
Grapes: 90% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Nero
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Description: Straw yellow color, fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet aroma contains floral and slightly fruity notes. Harmonious taste, delicate perlage, slim and elegant aroma. The bouquet has typical characteristics of fermentation in the bottle, notes of bread crust and yeast, complemented by subtle citrus and nutty flavors (almond, hazelnut, and white dried fig). It stands out for the bread-making aroma, typical of sourdough fermentation, fresh, delicate, and harmonious.
Pairing: Perfectly pairs with aperitifs. It also pairs well with fish or vegetable-based dishes, main and second courses based on fish, cold pork meat, white meat, veal, and mature cheese.
CORTE AURA BRUT SATEN FRANCIACORTA
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Description: Straw yellow color and fine perlage. The wine has a delicate floral aroma. The taste is soft and delicately creamy, nuanced but distinctly hinting at ripe fruit, accompanied by delicate notes of white flowers and nuts, including roasted almonds or hazelnuts. A pleasant taste and freshness blend with natural smoothness, reminiscent of the gentle feeling of silk.
Pairing: Perfectly pairs with aperitifs and throughout the meal. This sparkling wine goes well with fish and vegetable-based main and second courses, raw fish, fried fish and vegetables, mixed cold pork meat, white meat, and mature cheeses.
