Franciacorta Brut SoloUva

The Franciacorta Brut by SoloUva is the testimonial of the philosophy of this winery, founded in 2009 thanks to the vision of the owner, Andrea Rutelli. Andrea, from the very beginning, decided to participate in the project of Arcari+Danesi, a production reality of Franciacorta that foresees a new method of sparkling wine production, in which the sugar added during the tirage and dosage phases is replaced with must and reserve grape juice. An innovative method, to which the SoloUva winery has adhered, whose name recalls the desire to find in every single grape everything that is needed for winemaking. An ambitious project, which brings to light a refreshing and savory Brut, rich in meaning. A bottle that is absolutely worth trying to trace the true identity of the DOCG of Franciacorta.

This Franciacorta Brut is born from the pure use of a great international white grape variety, Chardonnay, cultivated by the SoloUva winery team in a plot of one and a half hectares, planted in 1985 in Erbusco. The grapes, once carefully harvested during the harvest phase, are immediately taken to the facilities designated for winemaking. Here, the philosophy that characterizes SoloUva comes to life: the production process of the Metodo Classico is obviously followed to the letter, but the sugars needed, both for the first fermentation and for the subsequent sparkling process, come exclusively from the grapes themselves, and therefore no exogenous sugars are used. The wine remains on the lees for 18 months to mature, and once disgorged, dosed, and bottled, it remains in glass for another 24 months before being released for sale.

The Franciacorta Brut made by the SoloUva winery announces itself in the glass with a brilliant golden color, crossed by a fine bubble, endowed with good persistence. On the nose, fruity aromas are primarily perceived, in which more mineral notes and hints of aromatic herbs intertwine. On the palate, it is light-bodied, lively, and slender, with a sip characterized by a pleasant savory imprint. A label with which the SoloUva winery continues its particular production process, which does not involve, in any product of the range, the use of exogenous sugars.
