Camossi Franciacorta Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Riserva 2016

Camossi Franciacorta Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Riserva 2016 is a finely made sparkling wine that captures the elegance and precision of 100% Chardonnay from Lombardy’s celebrated Franciacorta region. With its extra brut style and extended lees ageing, it combines freshness, texture, and complexity in a way that makes it stand out among premium Italian sparkling wines.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with a refined, persistent mousse, this wine shows a bright, polished appearance that hints at its finesse. The nose is expressive yet controlled, offering notes of citrus zest, green apple, white flowers, and subtle brioche, with a delicate mineral edge in the background. On the palate it is crisp and dry, with vivid acidity balanced by a creamy, layered texture. Flavours of lemon, pear, toasted almond, and pastry unfold with impressive clarity, leading to a long, elegant finish. Thanks to its structure and reserve status, it should also develop gracefully over the next several years, gaining further depth and complexity.

Production
Made entirely from Chardonnay, this Franciacorta comes from Lombardy’s cool-climate vineyards, where the combination of glacial soils, good drainage, and moderate temperatures helps preserve acidity and aromatic freshness. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure only healthy, perfectly ripe fruit is selected, a crucial step for high-quality sparkling wine production. Following the traditional method, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in bottle and is aged extensively on the lees to build richness, texture, and complexity before disgorgement. The extra brut dosage keeps the final profile taut and precise, allowing the character of the vintage and terroir to shine through.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for oysters, shellfish, sushi, delicate seafood dishes, and light appetisers such as tempura or crostini with fresh cheese. It also pairs beautifully with creamy risotto or poultry in subtle sauces. Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C, and decanting is not recommended.

Producer
Camossi is a respected Franciacorta producer known for crafting elegant, terroir-driven sparkling wines that reflect the region’s reputation for precision and refinement. While not among the largest names in the appellation, the producer has earned attention for producing high-quality wines with a strong sense of balance and style, particularly in vintages that benefit from extended ageing.
