Lo Sparviere Franciacorta Brut Millesimato 2019

Lo Sparviere Franciacorta Brut Millesimato 2019 is a vintage-dated sparkling wine made entirely from Chardonnay, combining refined bubbles with the region’s distinctive mineral character. Produced by the traditional method and aged on its lees for at least 60 months, it reflects Lo Sparviere’s long-standing connection to Franciacorta, where the estate was established in 1974.

Tasting Notes
Fine, persistent bubbles rise through a straw-yellow wine with golden highlights. The aroma brings together ripe pineapple, white peach and dried-fruit notes, followed by hints of green herbs and mountain honey. On the palate, a silky texture is balanced by lively acidity and pronounced saline minerality, with a fresh, persistent finish. Its extended lees ageing contributes depth and complexity; the available information does not specify a further cellar-ageing window.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from north-facing vineyards in Monticelli Brusati, around 180 metres above sea level. The vines grow in glacial moraine soils of red clay, with limestone- and marl-rich Selcifero formations that help shape the wine’s freshness and saline character. Grapes are hand-harvested into small crates and whole bunches are gently pressed to obtain the finest free-run juice. The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and wooden barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation. Selected reserve wines are included in the blend before the second fermentation in bottle using the traditional method, followed by at least 60 months on the lees.

Food & Serving
Enjoy this Franciacorta with sushi and sashimi, cured meats, mild cheeses or roasted pork loin. Serve well chilled, around 6–8°C, to bring its freshness and fine mousse into focus. Decanting is not necessary; pour gently into a white-wine glass or a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine glass.

Producer
Lo Sparviere was founded in 1974 and is based in a charming 16th-century residence in Franciacorta. The estate’s identity is closely tied to its historic Chardonnay vineyards and to the expression of Monticelli Brusati’s distinctive soils. The supplied information mentions awards for its wines but does not name specific distinctions.
