Tasting Notes: The Ricci Curbastro Franciacorta Brut is a vibrant sparkling wine displaying a persistent perlage and brilliant, pale gold hue. The aroma profile is elegant and intense, opening with fresh scents of green apple, crisp pear, and delicate white flowers, supported by subtle, complex notes of brioche from its extended time on the lees. On the palate, the wine offers a harmonious and creamy texture that is both dry and refreshing. Flavors of citrus zest and stone fruit dominate, culminating in a balanced, crisp finish with appealing minerality. This wine maintains wonderful freshness and structural integrity throughout the tasting experience.
Estate History: Ricci Curbastro is a historic producer located in the heart of the Franciacorta appellation in Lombardy, Italy.

Over several generations, the family has dedicated itself to producing high-quality sparkling wines exclusively using the Metodo Classico (traditional method), mirroring the production techniques of Champagne. They are highly regarded for their meticulous vineyard management and commitment to sustainable viticulture. The estate also serves as an important cultural touchstone for the region, housing the Ricci Curbastro Agricultural and Wine Museum, which preserves and displays local history and antique winemaking equipment.
