Ferghettina Franciacorta Riserva 33 Pas Dose 2018

Ferghettina Franciacorta Riserva 33 Pas Dosé 2018 is a Chardonnay-led sparkling wine made by the traditional method, with no dosage to preserve its crisp, precise character. Produced in a limited run of 6,000 bottles and matured on its lees for 84 months, it offers an expressive take on Franciacorta from the Adro area.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden yellow in colour, with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose brings together candied fruit and medlar with delicate notes of pistachio and flowers. On the palate, lively citrus is balanced by deep mineral and saline impressions, finishing dry, long and harmonious. Its extended lees ageing gives it depth and complexity; it is ready to enjoy now, though a precise further ageing window has not been specified.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from around 40 vineyards across eight Franciacorta communes, at approximately 250 metres above sea level. Guyot-trained vines grow in clay- and limestone-rich soils that contribute to the wine’s saline, mineral character. The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-August and gently pressed as whole bunches, with only the free-run juice used. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks; selected base wines are blended before the second fermentation in bottle and 84 months of lees ageing. No dosage is added at disgorgement.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, scallops, grilled white fish or delicate seafood dishes; its citrus and mineral profile also suits aged hard cheeses. Decanting is generally unnecessary for sparkling wine—open shortly before serving and pour gently to preserve the mousse.

Producer
Ferghettina is based in Adro, in the heart of Franciacorta, Lombardy. This Riserva is presented as a distinctive expression of the producer’s Chardonnay, assembled from a blend of selected base wines and made in a limited production of 6,000 bottles. Further details about the winery’s history are not provided.
