Franciacorta DOCG Brut Ferghettina

What kind of wine it is

Ferghettina's Brut is a Franciacorta born from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, both cultivated on the hills of Adro in the Brescia area. The winemaking follows the Traditional Method, with a second fermentation in the bottle that gives the wine a fresh and elegant style. This Franciacorta focuses on clean aromas and taste balance, thanks to a carefully managed production process that starts with the meticulous selection of grape bunches.

Where it comes from

This wine comes to life on the hills of Adro, within the renowned Franciacorta appellation. The vineyard area of Brescia provides the perfect backdrop for the Ferghettina winery to develop its unique winemaking identity. The connection with its place of origin is evident in a profile that combines finesse and drinkability, offering a faithful expression of Lombardy's terroir with remarkable continuity.

How it is produced

Production begins with an extremely gentle pressing of whole bunches of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Only the first juice, the highest quality part of the initial pressing, is extracted and sent to the fermentation tank. The wine rests until the following spring, then it is bottled for secondary fermentation according to the Traditional Method. This is followed by a 24-month aging on the lees, essential for defining a measured aromatic profile and the fine texture of the bubbles.
