Franciacorta Milledì Brut DOCG

Terroir and wine-making

The Franciacorta Brut DOCG Milledì is a renowned sparkling wine made 100% from Chardonnay grapes, harvested in mid-August, at 250 meters above sea level. An expression of savoury and brio in a cuvée made from grapes from 12 different vineyards, located in 8 municipalities of Franciacorta. The harvest is made from Guyot plants with a plant of 5000 strains/hectare. The Chardonnay grapes are pressed by means of a mechanical press with a very gentle pressure. In the winemaking process, the flower must, which has the best quality characteristics and is used to make Franciacorta, is separated from the second-pressing must, which is discarded for bottling. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, while the wine rests in the tank until the first flowering of the plants.
