The Nature by Enrico Gatti is a Franciacorta that originates in the hilly area of Erbusco. The estate covers a total of about twenty hectares of vineyards, divided into various parcels, with vines that have an average age of around 20 years. The gentle exposures of the morainic hills, the sunny climate always mitigated by the nearby Lake Iseo, create the perfect conditions for bringing the grapes to full ripeness.The company was founded in the early 1970s and today is particularly appreciated by enthusiasts in search of sincere, direct wines that can express the characteristics of the territory without mediations or elaborations in the cellar. In Gatti's Metodo Classico, it is the vineyard that speaks and the grape is the only protagonist of the sip.
The Metodo Classico Nature by Enrico Gatti is a Franciacorta dedicated to lovers of zero dosage, who prefer straight and vertical sparkling wines, without any concession to seductive softness. At the end of the soft pressing, the grapes are vinified separately in temperature-controlled steel tanks.

In the glass, it has a brilliant straw yellow color, with a fine and continuous perlage. The olfactory profile reveals aromas of white fruit, floral scents, hints of exotic fruit, notes of bread crust, and slight toasted and dried fruit nuances. The sip is energetic and lively, with a mouthtasty and linear, which runs towards a finish of intense freshness.
