If you want to try a truly different wine from your average sparkling wines experience, SOTTOSOPRA -Tenute del Garda is unlikely to unnoticed. The differences start from the bottle label, which is upside down (Sottosopra), and the crown stopper, ideal choices in order to sustain the philosophy behind this Garda Lake wine. That is to say a classic method with 18-24 months of refinement, that continues in the bottle as the second fermentation yeasts are maintained, allowing a continuous evolution. Tenute del Garda in this case wants to highlight the energetic, joyous part of the territory and wine making in general. The result is a persistent perlage, with a stable and full bodied presence, a colour that certainly doesn’t aspire to perfect clearness, but to a vivacity that it reaches in the bright yellow tone. The main aromas are bread crust and citrus, the citrus note then comes back at the palate accompanied by a great acidity giving a fresh, pleasant and uncommon result.

Today we’re introducing you the Villa, a great Franciacorta docg producers. The company is located in a medieval hamlet in Monticelli Brusati, near the Lake of Iseo, the 37 hectares of vineyards surround the wine cellar both in the plain and over the hillside divided in big steps, giving a magnificent panorama. The ground is naturally very rich in clay, minerals and fossils of marine origine, this explains the particular aromatic complexity and sapidity of the wines. Villa has decided to produce only millesimal (that is to say wine with at least 85% grapes from the same vintage and not a cuveè), in order to enhance the characteristic of every different vintage deriving from different clime, weather and soil, but is is also a sign of trust in the constant quality of the wines. Villa Franciacorta Emozione Brut Millesimato: at the sight it is perfectly limpid, straw yellow with light golden shades, the nose denotes floral and exotic fruit. A the palate exotic fruit is easy to taste again, accompanied by the characteristic Franciacorta fragrance of bread derived from the classic method and a mineral, sapid aftertaste.
