Sparkling Wine

“Hurrà” Pet Nat Rosé IGT Veneto is a natural rosé sparkling wine. The PIWI vines from which this wine comes are vines that are resistant to fungal diseases. It is thus the result of constant human research and selection, over several decades, of crosses between varieties of vitis vinifera and American vine varieties (resistant to fungal diseases). The advantage is the minimal number of treatments carried out and the consequent environmental impact of their cultivation.

Dress
The color of this “Hurrà” Pet Nat is intense and muted pink.

Nose
The nose thus presents a slight note of bread crust, characteristic of unfiltered wines.

Stuffy
It immediately gives way to intense notes of red fruits such as wild strawberries and pomegranate, but also to citrus notes such as pink grapefruit and orange.

Tasting
We recommend gently turning the bottle upside down. For a totally innovative tasting of this still little-known “Hurrà” Pet Nat Rosé IGT Veneto.

Producer
With five generations of experience behind it, the Pizzolato Settimo & Gino farm was created in 1981. Originally, the company dealt with cattle breeding, vine growing but also harvesting fruits and vegetables.

Grapes and wine, products of excellence among all agricultural products, quickly proved to be the first to respond positively to organic methods. In 1991, the wines produced began to be checked and certified. And this by a control body in accordance with EEC regulation n° 2092/91. In addition, winemaking and bottling techniques have also been regulated by a new European organic wine statute. Finally, the winery obtained organic certification in 1991, the year certification bodies were created in Italy.

Epicurious Brothers has selected one of the finest examples of Italian sparkling wines: Franciacorta D.O.C.G. Brut Millesimato, produced by Azienda Agricola Lo Sparviere. This prestigious Franciacorta is exclusively crafted in the renowned region of Provaglio d’Iseo, in the province of Brescia, Lombardy.

This sparkling wine of exceptional quality is made using the traditional or Champagne method (refermentation in the bottle), ensuring its refined character and elegance

Winemaking

Franciacorta D.O.C.G. Brut Millesimato is produced from 100% hand-picked Chardonnay grapes, rigorously selected in the vineyard. After harvest, the grapes are cooled to 4°C for 24 to 36 hours to enhance aroma extraction. They are then delicately whole-cluster pressed, with only 55% of the free-run must being used. Fermentation occurs slowly at 15-17°C to preserve the varietal aromas.

The base wine is aged for 6 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks, and a portion undergoes malolactic fermentation to add complexity. After blending, the wine is bottled for its second fermentation, followed by an ageing period of at least 48 months on the lees to develop its characteristic finesse and depth.

A Unique Expression

This Franciacorta reflects the rich diversity of its terroir, grown on marl soils with a prevalence of silt and red clay. The result is a sparkling wine that marries minerality and elegance with a smooth, floral character. Its balanced, crisp, and lengthy palate makes it an exceptional choice for any occasion.

Annual production is limited, ensuring its exclusivity and meticulous attention to detail.

Dress

Brilliant straw yellow with delicate golden reflections.

Nose

Complex aromas of biscuit and acacia honey evolve into notes of candied fruit and beeswax.

Palate

Epicurious brothers has selected the most famous of Italian sparkling wines. That is to say the Franciacorta DOCG Brut Cuvée n°7 produced by Azienda Agricola Lo Sparviere. Franciacorta is exclusively produced in the territory bearing the same name in the province of Brescia in Lombardy.

After cooling the grapes at 4°C for 24 to 36 hours to promote the extraction of aromas, they are delicately pressed. Only 60% of the must resulting from this first pressing is used. Then comes a slow fermentation at 16°C. This one is made to retain the perfumes. Then, the base wine is refined on the lees for 7 months in stainless steel vats to be bottled in May. Finally, Franciacorta is refined on lees in bottles (second fermentation) for 30 months before being disgorged and ready to taste.

It is the last born of Lo Sparviere, from the single Chardonnay grape variety. It thus combines the rigor and minerality of clay-limestone soils with the floral exuberance and softness of morainic soils. It therefore has a fruity and sapid flavor, capable of being immediately appreciated. Annual production of approximately 60,000 bottles, to finish with a minimum aging on yeasts of 30 months.
