Vineyards of origin
Vinification
The whole bunch grapes are pressed with a pneumatic press at very gentle pressures. During vinification, the must is separated into two fractions: the free-run must, which has the best quality characteristics and is used for the production of Franciacorta, and the second-press must, which is not bottled. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 16 and 18°C. The base wine rests in tank until the spring following the harvest.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow in colour. A wine with a very fresh character. On the nose it has distinct notes of white flowers and on the palate it is very savoury.
VARIETY
100% Chardonnay
VINEYARD ALTITUDE
250 m a.s.l.
HARVEST PERIOD
First ten days of September, hand-picked
TRAINING SYSTEM
Guyot, planted at 5,000 vines/hectare
AGEING

Ricci Curbastro Franciacorta - Satèn Brut
€ 55.00
Ricci Curbastro Franciacorta - Satèn Brut
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay vinified in oak barrels.
Vineyards: Franciacorta (BS) in the municipalities of Capriolo and Iseo.
Production cycle: after fermentation in oak barrels, bottling takes place in spring, initiating a slow refermentation in the bottle according to the traditional Franciacorta method. The bottles remain stacked for at least 40 months (a total of 48 months from the harvest), ensuring the unmistakable bouquet due to the contact and autolysis of the yeasts. After disgorgement, with the addition of a very dry dosage syrup (4 g/litre), the Franciacorta undergoes further ageing in the cellar for a few months.
Colour: straw yellow, clear and bright.
Aroma: on the nose, it presents a significant presence of mature, dense and rich fruity notes, complemented by spicy aromas and yeasts reminiscent of biscuit and almond notes.
Taste: of great elegance, it reproduces on the palate the same olfactory sensations supported by body and structure, enlivened by a slight acidity.
Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.
Bottle storage: laid down, in the dark, in a dry and cool environment.
Serving: serve at 10°C, preferably in a bucket with water and ice.
Gastronomy: accompanies the entire meal, from aperitif to cheese; ideal with fish and white meats.
Curiosity: the Satèn type reserved only for Franciacorta is named after silk, once produced here, and like silk, it is “soft” (round) and “with fabric” (consistent or full-bodied), the two adjectives describe all the magic of Franciacorta Satèn Brut.

Mel4 - Apple cider
BOTTLE REFERMENTATION
Known since 600 BC, it saw its greatest development in areas populated by the Celts, and even today the largest producers and consumers are England, Ireland, and the northwest of France, including Normandy and Brittany. However, Spain and Italy, along with Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, also boast cider production traditions.
The apple varieties used for cider production are not the classic table varieties but resemble wild apples: less sweet, rich in tannins, and with good acidity.
Our apples are four varieties of Norman origin: Douce Moën, Marie Menard, Perit Jaune, and St. Martin. They are grown in Brisighella in Romagna at an altitude of 400 m above sea level.
Strictly hand-picked, after about a week the apples are washed and crushed, and the resulting pulp is pressed in an old press.
The juice obtained is cooled, clarified by decantation, and then fermented at a controlled temperature in a steel tank. This results in a cider with an alcohol content of about 8% vol.
After several months in the cellar, the cider is bottled with the addition of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and sugar for a second natural fermentation in the bottle, which also ensures the formation of bubbles, 9-12 months of maturation on the lees, and with disgorging, the yeast is removed and dosage syrup is added (Dry, about 30 g/litre).
Colour: straw yellow with a fine and elegant perlage.
Bouquet: elegant, fresh, and fruity.
Taste: reminiscent of the aroma of apples, pleasantly balanced with an acidic note that mitigates the residual sugar, aromatic, fruity, fine, and persistent like its delicate perlage.
Serving temperature: 8-10 °C.
Pairings: to be drunk young as an aperitif, in summer it can be served with ice, also mixed in various cocktails like Spritz and Kir. At lunch, it accompanies eggs, pizzas, seafood, and fatty meats, and it also pairs well with leavened desserts.
