The history of the Uberti farm begins in 1793, when the family bought a small farmhouse with vineyards in Erbusco, in the cultural center of the Franciacorta appellation, where some of the major wineries of the appellation are based, including Bellavista and Ca ‘del Bosco.
The activity within the (then DOC) Franciacorta began with the first harvest suitable for the denomination in 1978 and since then, thanks to a work of the highest quality and transparency in the vineyard as in the cellar, the Company has established itself as a synonym for excellence within the DOCG.
The vineyards are located between Erbusco, Adro and Calino: hilly areas with windy exposures, soil rich in minerals, treated with organic cultivation and vinified with soft pressing, to ensure the highest quality of the wine. A slight dosage, however, allows the wine to fall into the Extra Brut category.
Pleasant and fresh acidity and minerality, on the nose, characteristic of the wine, a bouquet of white flowers enriched by notes of slightly toasted bread crust, supported by a fine perlage.
Dry in the mouth but with a slight roundness and softness that perfectly balances the marked acidity.
Perfect with a rich aperitif: blinis with smoked salmon or caviar and sour cream, gougéres, scallops au gratin, French shortcrust pastry pretzels.
6-8 °C
Sustainable agriculture.
Vinification in stainless steel, then aged on the lees in the bottle for 30 months. At least 6 months from dégorgement to release.
