Perpétuelle
Perpétuelle
“Perpétuelle”, a Franciacorta with a novel concept, a wine born from the union of the finest Anthologie Blanc selections from the past, magically brought together in a “perpetual” cuvée that is renewed each year. It is left to age in the quiet cellars for at least 40 months, offering complex and unique sensory experiences. Produced in its first series (14–16) in limited quantities, it is the result of winemaking using only reserve wines from the finest Chardonnay grapes, meticulously selected and vinified. With zero dosage, it is complex yet elegant, intense, refined, full-bodied, mature and harmonious.
Ideal throughout a meal, it pairs perfectly with all Italian dishes.
A wine that truly embodies the essence of Franciacorta, produced exclusively from vintage wines of the highest quality. A wine that, with its aromas and its unassuming sincerity, patiently renews itself year after year.
