Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant, superior quality, 100% Chardonnay Italian sparkler from Lombardy.
The lowdown:
Franciacorta is a small wine region of rolling hills in Lombardy just west of Brescia which is home to the country's best sparkling wines. Ferghettina, as one of the leading producers, have played a significant part in bringing this region to prominence. This vintage cuvée is made purely from Chardonnay with only the first press juice being used. It's aged on its lees for at least 1,000 days (hence the name Milledi). Fresh and elegant with white flower and citrus notes, the palate is complex with brioche and more citrus characters giving a lovely weight and texture. The mousse is fine and persistent all the way to the lengthy finish.
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:
An eye catching and superb qualty sparkler which is great by itself, or with fish, poultry and most definitely sushi.
Suitable for Vegans
