Description
Cavalleri Franciacorta Blanc de Blanc is the most representative wine of the company. It is a cuvée that includes 20% of wines from different vintages aged in barriques and stored at low temperatures. The Chardonnay grapes come from the best estate-owned vineyards and are hand-harvested and brought to the winery for gentle pressing. The musts ferment 80% in temperature-controlled steel tanks and the remaining 20% in new and used barriques. After six months of rest, the Franciacorta bases are bottled with the addition of yeast and sugar, which allows the development of bubbles inside the bottle, the very fine perlage that distinguishes Cavalleri Franciacorta. After at least 24 months from bottling, Cavalleri Franciacorta Blanc de Blanc is disgorged with the addition of the liqueur d'expedition and released to the market. Pairings: Cavalleri Franciacorta Blanc de Blanc pairs perfectly with appetizers featuring cured meats and cheeses and with first courses like risottos. It is perfect when paired with aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano. Storage: Store at 16-18°C Alcohol content: 13.0% Vintage: N.V. Designation: Franciacorta DOCG Aging: In bottle for 24 months.
