Produced in only 1000 bottles, the Franciacorta D.O.C.G. Riserva of Elisabetta Abrami is obtained from the white wine-making of a cuvee, whose Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes refine for at least 60 months on the yeasts.
Such refinement enriches the wine with an intense yellow colour, fine perlage and complex aromas, from the yeast to the bread-crust, with a fresh and caressing taste.
Decantation: Addition of selected yeasts and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The cuvée is made in spring. After the addition of sugar syrup and yeast for secondary fermentation, it is bottled and stacked on its side to aid re-fermentation and slow refinement
Refinement: At least 60 months on the yeasts in steel tanks/oak barriques and minimum 3 months of post degorgement

Elisabetta Abrami
Excellent wine is brought to life in our vineyards through: careful vine selection, a low vine density per hectare, manual grape harvesting at peak ripeness, a low production per vine and a high degree of respect towards the environment.
