Where does it come from

This wine is crafted on the hills of Franciacorta, a region historically dedicated to viticulture. The visual identity of the bottle draws inspiration from an ancient medieval grimoire, known as the Lesser Key of Solomon or Lemegeton. The label depicts one of its seventy-two magical seals, dedicated to the spirit Zepar, an entity associated with emotions and feelings. This esoteric narrative blends with its geographic origin, making the product highly recognizable within the Ca’ del Diavolo brand.

How it is made

Harvesting is carried out by hand around mid-August, with strict bunch selection to ensure the integrity of the fruit. After gentle pressing to extract the free-run must, fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel containers to preserve the varietal aromas. The wine rests for six months before undergoing secondary fermentation in bottle according to the Traditional Method. This is followed by a maturation of at least twenty-four months on the lees before disgorgement and an additional period of bottle ageing.

Tasting notes

In the glass it displays a bright rosé color, crossed by a fine, persistent perlage. The aromatic profile opens with delicate floral notes of rose, followed by fruity nuances of strawberry and raspberry. As it evolves in the glass, autolysis-derived aromas emerge, such as yeast, bread crust, subtle hints of brioche, and toasted almond. On the palate it is fresh and enveloping, supported by an excellent balance between lively acidity and fruit richness, finishing soft and persistent.

Food pairings

Its neatly structured profile makes it suitable for accompanying fresh cheeses and enticing crostini, ideal as a meal starter. Its gustatory freshness and fragrant yeast notes create a pleasant continuity with the delicacy of the ingredients. This sparkling wine also pairs well with dry pastries and confectionery, as the acidity supports the sweetness and balances the palate. Each sip perfectly enhances dishes with clean flavors and light structure.

When to serve

Perfect for convivial occasions, this Franciacorta is best enjoyed when served at a temperature between 6 and 8 degrees Celsius, a condition that enhances its aromatic precision. Ideal as an aperitif, it has enough character to accompany an entire meal of delicate dishes. Thanks to its time resting in the bottle, it offers a remarkable expressive stability, maintaining freshness and delivering a consistently rewarding tasting experience over time.
