Franciacorta DOCG Extra Brut Bio 'Naturae' 2021 (750 ml.) Barone Pizzini
The Franciacorta 'Naturae' Extra Brut Bio by Barone Pizzini is rigorous, frank, and biting at its core. It stands out for its dense savoriness, important structure, and lively acidity. Part of the grapes comes from the highest vineyard, Pian delle Viti, formerly known as “Suspended Valley,” with marine limestone soils that impart a spicy note. Each edition is unique and unrepeatable. Naturae is an organic wine, produced without dosage (Extra Brut), with natural residual sugar. In this version, the refermentation after 10 months in barrique stopped spontaneously, a sign of the authenticity of the terroir. Aging in the bottle on the lees for 31 months. In the vineyard, only natural substances and attention to biodiversity. Perfect with raw seafood, shellfish, white fish carpaccio, sushi, and fresh cheeses.

Barone Pizzini
Barone Pizzini is considered one of the historic wineries of Franciacorta, known and esteemed for the quality and reliability of its cuvées. Founded in Provaglio d’Iseo in 1870 by Baron Giulio Pizzini Piomarta Von Thurberg, the winery is now led by a group of passionate entrepreneurs from Brescia: Ugo Colombo, Piermatteo Ghitti, and Silvano Brescianini. In 1998, it was the first winery in Franciacorta to embrace the cause of organic viticulture and today, alongside the pursuit of quality and excellence, it continues its commitment to sustainable agriculture.
The vineyards of Barone Pizzini extend over a total of 47 hectares divided into 25 parcels among the towns of Provaglio, Corte Franca, Ado, and Passirado. They are rooted at about 200 meters of altitude on partly morainic soils, enriched by fluvioglacial deposits. The cultivation methods are organic and aim for the harmonious balance of the plant, the production of well-characterized grapes, a guarantee of quality and health for the consumer, and the protection of the environment and territory. The harvested grapes are conveyed and vinified in an ultra-modern winery, built in 2006 according to eco-compatible architectural criteria, equipped with photovoltaic panels and natural conditioning systems.
From the lively and very rigorous activity of the Barone Pizzini winery comes a rich and extraordinary range of Franciacorta sparkling wines, all of great quality and indissolubly linked to the territory. These are organic wines that preserve and convey great charm, not to be missed by all bubble lovers.
