Origin

The Franciacorta Brut by Abrami is produced in the Franciacorta region, located in Lombardy, Northern Italy. This area is renowned for its high-quality sparkling wines made using the traditional method.

Variety

This Franciacorta Brut is typically crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) grapes, which are the primary varietals authorized in the Franciacorta DOCG production.

Production

The wine is produced using the traditional method (Metodo Classico), involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to develop its characteristic fine bubbles. The aging process on the lees enhances complexity and texture, with a minimum aging period as required by Franciacorta DOCG regulations.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with fine and persistent perlage.
  • Aroma: Elegant bouquet featuring notes of white flowers, citrus fruits, and hints of toasted bread.
  • Palate: Crisp and fresh with balanced acidity, flavors of green apple and almond, and a clean, dry finish.

Food pairings

Franciacorta Brut by Abrami pairs excellently with a variety of dishes including:

  • Seafood appetizers such as oysters, shrimp, and smoked salmon
  • Light pasta dishes with cream or vegetable-based sauces
  • Soft cheeses like mozzarella and ricotta
  • White meats such as chicken or turkey
  • Celebratory toasts and aperitifs
