Barone Pizzini Bagnadore Franciacorta Riserva 2015

One of the best bottles from Franciacorta!

Chardonnay 70%, pinot nero 30%. The grapes for Bagnadore come from the single field Roccolo, 250 meters above sea level. On the 3.9 ha, the more than 30-year-old vines benefit from the benefits of a climate mitigated by the surrounding forests. Healthy temperature variation between day and night gives the place a rich biodiversity.

This riserva is only made in small quantities and only in top vintages. Production is held to the highest quality standards.

Vinification takes place with a gentle pressing, after which the must is fermented in barriques.

Then 8 months of aging in barriques, of which approx. 35% are new barriques with light roasting, 65% in barriques that have been used 1-2 times.

Refinement in bottle with yeast for at least 69 months

Serving temperature should be 8 - 10° C
