Millesimato

THE FRUITY EXPRESSION
OF CA’ D’OR TASTE

It comes from our Grand Cru vineyards, planted with Riesling grapes. It ferments for about 12 months in small steel tanks, in total absence of sulphur dioxide, and then it ages in the bottle. It is produced every year with grapes of the same vintage, so, while maintaining its soft fresh and fruity features, every year it also gives us slightly different aromatic notes, because each season has its own distinctive note.

Our Brut presents itself to the eye with a bright yellow colour. Made in purity, gives scents and balsamic notes, green and yellow fruit sensations and exotic nuances on the nose. It is also evident the fruity note, with citrus and balsamic nuances, while in the finish emerges still immature almond. It has overall a good body and a good structure.

Bubbles are fine and persistent.

Bottle Technical Data Sheet

Shape:
the shape is as original as it is useful for the process of aging in the wine cellar; its greater surface area, in fact, permits more contact between the liquid and the lees, allowing the sediment to release essential substances that enhance the expressive bouquet of our Franciacorta and consequently improve its taste and nose characteristics. The date 1501 marked in relief on the glass, recalls the long history of the Ca’ d’Or brand.

Glass:
Class “A” white glass for food products.

Decoration:
water colours etched on glass by means of a printing technique using steel frames to transfer the colour directly onto the bottle. The colours used are thermally fused and, after cooking at 600/620 °C, the screen printing is permanent. The colours and processing meet standards for use with food products, and are non-toxic. The metallic gold colour of the mask, together with the collar in Bronze, identify the type of wine in the bottle.

Cork:
an extremely high-quality achromatic cork made of cork microgranules from raw materials selected to preserve the taste of the wine.
