Description
In a nutshell:
Chardonnay-only Franciacorta, aged on lees for nearly three years, with crisp citrus fruit and layered complexity.
The lowdown:
Franciacorta is Italy's answer to Champagne, and this Blanc de Blancs makes that point with precision. Made entirely from Chardonnay and aged for around 1,000 days on lees - Milledi means a thousand days - it's finely textured with a palate that's all citrus, white peach and a touch of pastry. The mousse is firm, the finish dry, and the detail impressive throughout. Elegant and sharply defined - a wine made with purpose, offering depth without weight and refinement without distraction.
The Producer:
Ferghettina is a stand-out example showing that Italian sparkling wine isn't just about Prosecco. Founded in 1991 by Roberto Gatti and very much a family-run affair, they specialise in Franciacorta, Italy's top sparkling wine. With over 200 hectares of vines, mainly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they create a range of styles from their base in Adro, between Milan and Brescia. Franciacorta from talented producers like Ferghettina really stands up to Champagne, both in quality and price. And if you're interested in exploring serious Italian bubbles, Ferghettina offers a journey well worth embarking on.
When to drink:
Serve with oysters, sashimi, or delicate seafood. The crisp structure and subtle depth make it a natural partner for clean, precise flavours.
Suitable for Vegans
