Product Overview
From the Producer's:
Fifteen years after the birth of CorteBianca and the introduction of our first bottle of Extra Brut, we are proud and happy to present our latest creation, our second Dosaggio Zero. We called it Essente , because "essente" is what exists in a specific place, here and now. It is therefore the essence of our place, its soul and its meaning. It gathers and concentrates all its essences and existences, from the grapes to the smallest life that constitutes and participates in the biodiversity within which our vines are grown and cared for. It is the meaning and rationale of our way of understanding wine, of our way of caring for our land.
Winemaker Leonardo Valenti described Essente as follows: “ A pale straw-yellow in color, with a persistent, compact, and creamy foam and a very fine, continuous, and persistent bubble, this excellent zero-dosage Franciacorta presents an excellent consistency and smoothness on the palate. It is very savory, with a lovely acidity that blends well with the wine's powerful structure. It is long, persistent, and has a very smooth and refined finish. Its aftertaste reflects and confirms the perception on the nose and in the mouth, with a light vegetal/fruity hint of pear and unripe apple. It pairs perfectly with oysters, shellfish, lake and river fish (golden perch, pike salad, sturgeon, and black mullet); sea fish in general, boiled or with white sauces; cured meats of all types, from mortadella and cooked ham to goose cured meats; and white poultry in general, such as rabbit, chicken, and guinea fowl. ”
