The Sparkling Wines

"Borgoletto"

Lessini Durello DOC

Durella vineyards, like Pinot Grigio, are also located in Vestenanova – but slightly higher up; here we are around 600/700 m above sea level. Borgoletto is Franchetto’s interpretation of Durella made sparkling according to the Martinotti method, in an autoclave. What do we like about this wine? Taking a sip is like eating a bunch of freshly picked Durella, an explosion of citrus fruits and freshness and… happiness 🙂

Colour: straw yellow with greenish reflections, fine and persistent perlage

Fragrance: citrus fruits and flowers, with a mineral sensation of flint

Taste: clean and silky bubbles; great freshness and flavor, mediated by a beautiful alcoholic structure. The aftertaste remains a citrus sensation with a pleasant note of sweet almond

"Metodo Classico"

Lessini Durello DOC

From the best Durella bunches of our mountains come the Franchetto spumante metodo classico wines. Our heart wines. This wine, after the tirage, rests on the yeasts, in the bottle, for at least 36/48 months. The evolution of Durella always amazes us, with every disgorgement. She manages to make the wine she gives life to a perfect synthesis of herself and the basaltic soil on which it grew. In fact, in this interpretation the lime and lemon are still very present, together with light notes of yeast and bread crust. The flint is always there, ready to remind us of the black soil in which the vines sink their roots.

Color: bright and expressive golden yellow

Perfume: elegant bouquet in which floral, citrus and bread crust notes stand out. A mineral sensation of flint remains

Taste: clean and silky bubbles. Great structure and beautiful freshness, with hints of lime and lemon. The aftertaste remains a pleasant sensation of sweet almond

"Franchetto Riserva"

Lessini Durello DOC

From the best Durella bunches of our mountains come the Franchetto spumante metodo classico wines. Our heart wines. This wine, after the tirage, rests on the yeasts, in the bottle, for at least 60/72 months. Pas dosè, the wine exactly as it was born. Without frills, Durella and Lessini Mountains basalt. This wine is a rare gem – the perfect synthesis of our idea of the classic method.

Colour: intense golden yellow, characterized by continuous and very fine perlage which gives the glass a particular shine

Perfume: refined bouquet, characterized by aromas of dried fruit punctuated by pastry nuances

Taste: appetizing, with a nice flavor that outlines a long persistence marked by ripe fruit, toasted almonds and mineral reverberations, witnesses of the land of origin
