<p>This saline-packed sparkling reminded Alessandra so much her father, who grew up basking in the salty and misty air of the port city of Bari, that she named this cuvée after him. A powerhouse of a zero/zero Franciacorta that brings complexity, depth, and a lingering finish. This mineral-driven wine also evokes notes of bruised fruit and a lightly oxidative quality. – Super Glou</p><p>Vintage: Base 2019 Harvest, 25% vin de reserve Grapes: Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Noir (50%)Style: Sparkling WineABV: 12% Region: LombardySub-Region or Appellation: Franciacorta Viticulture: Organic (uncertified), with no systematic treatments and limited use of copper and sulfur only when necessaryAge of Vines: 18 years oldSoils: Limestone, clayYeasts: IndigenousVinification: Spontaneous fermentation and aging in barriques.
