Franciacorta Excellence
Renowned for its sparkling wines, Ricci Curbastro is a proud producer of Franciacorta DOCG, a prestigious designation that guarantees the highest standards of quality. The winery's Franciacorta wines are crafted using the metodo classico (traditional method), which involves secondary fermentation in the bottle. This meticulous process ensures the creation of wines with unparalleled depth, elegance, and complexity.
About the Winery
Wines
These 5 Ricci Curbastro wines will be tasted Sunday, June 22 from 4 - 6pm. $20 entry fee, refunded with purchase.
Franciacorta Brut
A wonderful, easy to drink, expressive example of Franciacorta, with a captivating combination of floral (from the Pinot Blanc) and fruity (from the Chardonnay) notes.
Franciacorta DOCG
After an initial fermentation in stainless steel vats or barrels, in spring of the subsequent year, the “en tirage” process gives way to a slow second fermentation in bottles according to the traditional Franciacorta method. After a minimum of 30 months of aging, in contact with the yeasts, the disgorgement stage follows, with the addition of a liqueur produced by us, along with another fining period in bottles for several months. Served at about 50 degrees in a large, narrow glass, like the Franciacorta wine glass, allowing a wide range of aromas to be enjoyed.
Franciacorta Satèn Brut
Characterized by a lower pressure in the bottle (maximum 5.0 atm), which provides a bead of extreme subtlety, persistence, and smoothness.
Franciacorta Rosé Brut
We believe that we have made an explosion of bouquets and “flavors” come together in a nice package, which cannot but satisfy all the senses.
Sebino IGT Pinot Nero
Full-bodied, with substantial acid structure and tannins that are very fine, well-honed, and become engaging with age, while the finish is engrossing, with balsamic notes that are detected by the nose.
Curtefranca DOC Vigna Santella del Gröm
Continuous, with character, full and silky with nice contribution by the Cabernet. In the mouth, it has a fine and continuative flavor, with noticeably good acidity that is, however, well combined with its smoothness.
