Franciacorta D.O.C.G. V.S.Q.P.R.D. Cruperdu

From August 10th to August 25th with careful selection of the grapes

The grapes are delicately pressed, so as to extract the first-pressing must

The vinification takes place with removal of the must from the lees at low temperatures in order to exalt the fragrance and the elegance of the wine with fermentation at a temperature of about 14°C. The base wines, after the first fermentation in steel tanks and in barrels, ferment for about 8 months at controlled temperatures until the preparation of the blend, which is prepared with a skilful mix of wines refined in steel tanks and in barrels (about 15%).

The base wine is added with yeasts and sugar (tirage), thus transforming the sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol. The wine ageing in the bottle lasts 30 months, producing an elegant, intense perlage; after that, the phase of dégorgement can start. In order to bring the Cruperdu to the desired level, the same wine is used (dosage). Cruperdu then ages 6 months in the bottle before being released into the market.
