From the vinification of Chardonnay grapes in purity. The origin of the vineyards falls within the company areas as per tradition and the exposure is towards East-South/East. The harvest takes place manually in crates between the second and fourth week of August. The vinification is in white in a pneumatic press with separation of the 1st and 2nd pressing. After 12 hours of decantation at 15°C, inoculation of selected yeasts for fermentation partly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and partly in barriques. Malolactic fermentation and racking precede the assembly of the Cuvée which in spring, after the addition of the "draught syrup", is bottled, capped with a crown cap and laid down in a pile for the second fermentation. For maturation and refinement, the stacked bottles remain at least 36 months in the rooms of our cellars before the "remuage". Subsequently disgorged and dosed "Brut" receive the mushroom cap and the cage. Finally, at least three months of further aging are necessary before placing this Franciacorta on the market.

The Spumante But Nature produced by the Bortoluz farm is a wine produced from glera grapes, the vineyards located in the municipality of Valdobbiadene at an altitude of about 200 meters.
This sparkling wine is called brut nature as no sugars are added after fermentation, therefore it has truly exquisite characteristics, its sugar level equal to 0, therefore dry and dry, its very fine perlage with a creamy and persistent foam, all Of course, the fruity scents are more attenuated than a classic prosecco, but in this case the floral and citrus notes are enhanced, we like it a lot on the palate because it is dry but at the same time velvety and fresh.
Excellent pairing with slightly fatter and richer fish dishes.

Brut Sparkling Wines: A Complete Guide to Italian Bubbles
Sparkling wines have always been associated with celebrations and special moments. Brut sparkling wines are one of the most beloved and popular types in Italy. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything there is to know about Brut sparkling wines , from their production, to flavors and pairings, to the best labels available on the market.
What is a Brut Sparkling Wine?
Brut sparkling wine is a semi-sparkling wine characterized by a low residual sugar content. The term "Brut" refers to the wine's sweetness, and in this case, indicates that the wine is dry, with a residual sugar content of less than 12 grams per liter. This makes it a popular choice for those who prefer less sweet and more refreshing wines.
Production Method
Brut sparkling wines are produced using two main methods: the Classic Method and the Charmat Method.
Classic Method
The Classic Method, also known as the Traditional Method or the Champenoise Method, is the method used to produce Champagne. In this process, the base wine ferments a second time in the bottle, creating natural bubbles and enriching the aromas and flavors. It's a long and complex process, but the result is a wine of great elegance and structure.
Charmat Method
The Charmat Method, also known as the Italian Method, is a faster and more efficient process. The base wine ferments a second time in large stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine's freshness and fruitiness. This method is often used for younger, lighter sparkling wines.
Characteristics of Brut Sparkling Wines
Brut sparkling wines have several characteristics that make them unique and distinctive:
Lively Acidity
Bruts have a lively acidity that makes them fresh and inviting on the palate. This acidity balances the lack of sweetness, creating a harmonious balance.
Fruity Flavors
Brut sparkling wines offer a wide array of fruity aromas, such as green apple, citrus, and white peach. These fresh, fruity aromas make these wines ideal as an aperitif or to accompany light dishes.
Fine and persistent bubbles
The bubbles of Brut sparkling wines are fine and persistent, creating a pleasant sensation of fizz in the mouth.
Versatility in pairings
Thanks to their acidity and structure, Brut sparkling wines pair well with a wide range of foods, from seafood to white meats, and are also perfect enjoyed on their own at festive times.

Italy boasts a vast selection of Brut sparkling wines , produced in various regions of the country. Here are some of the best labels to try:

2. Ca' del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Brut

4. La Gioiosa Prosecco Superiore Brut
If you prefer a lighter option, La Gioiosa Prosecco Superiore Brut from the Veneto region is the ideal choice. Delicate and aromatic, it's perfect for a cheerful toast.
The History of Brut Sparkling Wines
The tradition of sparkling wines in Italy has ancient roots, dating back to ancient Rome. However, the success of Brut sparkling wines as we know them today is primarily linked to the Champagne region of France, where the Metodo Classico (traditional method) took hold in the 17th century. Since then, this production style has spread throughout Italy, giving rise to the delicious Brut sparkling wines we love and appreciate today.
How to Store and Serve Brut Sparkling Wines
To fully enjoy the bubbles of Brut sparkling wines , it is essential to store and serve them correctly.
Conservation
Store Brut sparkling wines in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid sudden temperature changes and store them horizontally to keep the cork moist.
Service
