Tasting notes Straw yellow colour with green tints and a particularly delicate flavour. The taste is dry, fresh and velvety. Curtefranca DOC Bianco with Vineyard appellation Blend Chardonnay grapes (minimum 50%), Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc up to a maximum of 50%. The wines honoured with this appellation are made from grapes obtained exclusively from a single vineyard. The grapes take the name of the place where they are grown, which is then also given to the wine. In order to obtain a white Curtefranca Vigna it is essential to reduce the yield of grapes, which results in wines that have a higher average alcohol content and extract than the other Curtefrancas. It also needs a longer period of time to mature in the bottle, and can’t be marketed until a year after the harvest. Curtefranca DOC Rosso Blend Carmenere and/or Cabernet franc for a minimum of 20%. It also features Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Tasting notes Bright red with brilliant ruby with purple tints. Dry, vinous and fruity taste. Curtefranca DOC Rosso with Vineyard appellation Blend Carmenere and/or Cabernet franc for a minimum of 20%. It also features Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. To produce red Vineyard Curtefranca it is essential to reduce the yield of grapes, which results in wines that have a higher average alcohol content and extract than the other Curtefrancas.

Download PDF Igt Sebino Some wines are granted the status of Sebino Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT), the production area for which covers the entire Franciacorta area. The Regulations provide very wide margins of interpretation for these wines, meaning we can come across examples that are very different from one other, ranging from fresh and immediately pleasant wines to particularly serious wines with great personality. There are four types of this wine: white, red, young and sweet, as well as in the types that bear the name of the grape variety: Sebino Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Nebbiolo and Barbera.
