CAMILUCCI - AMMONITES FRANCIACORTA
CAMILUCCI - AMMONITES FRANCIACORTA
Made in the traditional Champagne method, this Italian sparkling comes from organically farmed vines grown in ancient, morainic, fossil-rich soils. The hand-harvested grapes are pressed to stainless steel for wild indigenous yeast fermentation. The current vintage is then aged for 8 months in tank before being blended with reserve wines going back 5 years! The blend is bottled with lees for the secondary fermentation and riddled (rotated by hand) for 18 months before finally being disgorged by hand and topped with a little still wine (zero dosage).
The result is a dry, terroir driven sparkling wine that truly is one of the most interesting and delicious Franciacorta we have ever tasted. Think crisp orchard fruits and wildflowers meets citrus and green melon with impressive length and wonderful freshness.
