NV Camilucci - Franciacorta DOCG

This Non‑Vintage Franciacorta DOCG captures the structured elegance of northern Italy’s premier sparkling appellation, built entirely on the traditional metodo classico that requires secondary fermentation in glass and extended lees contact. Sourced from controlled vineyards across the province of Brescia, 750ml of this bottling typically blends Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and Pinot Blanc to deliver a dry sparkler with consistent house character regardless of vintage fluctuations.

Tasting Profile

Crisp green apple and wet stone define the initial aroma, quickly supported by baked almond and pale citrus zest. Medium-bodied yet agile, the palate traces a creamy thread driven by fine perlage, leaving a racy, mineral finish shaped by the region’s ancient glacial moraine soils.

Serving Temperature & Food Pairing

• Service temperature: Chill to 6–8°C (43–46°F) before pouring directly into a champagne flute or tulip to maintain carbonation and isolate primary aromatics.
• Standalone role: Functions cleanly as an aperitivo or paired with a raw bar of shucked oysters and uni.
• Compatible dishes: Bright acidity balances fat and salt, cutting through grilled sea bass, shrimp scampi, truffle frittata, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and vegetable-filled arancini.

Carrying the official DOCG designation guarantees regulated harvest yields, mandatory manual picking, and minimum bottle aging that keep the wine firm, food-friendly, and distinctly Italian over international low-pressure sparkling alternatives.
