The Cuvée Prestige Edizione 48 is a blend predominantly of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a small proportion of Pinot Blanc, sourced from numerous vineyards across Franciacorta. The Edizione 48 denotes a specific selection of vintages and reserve wines, designed to express balance, freshness and stylistic consistency. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico, with ageing on the lees for approximately 25 months, followed by disgorging without oxygen, a distinctive practice of the winery to preserve aromatic integrity and finesse.

Bright straw yellow with golden highlights. Fine, dense and persistent perlage. An elegant and well-defined bouquet: notes of white flowers, citrus, apple and peach, accompanied by hints of bread crust, delicate pastries and almond, with light mineral undertones. On the palate, it is fresh, balanced and harmonious. The bubbles are creamy and well-integrated, supported by good acidity and a pleasant savouriness. The finish is clean, elegant and persistent, with fruity and slightly toasty notes.
An extremely versatile Franciacorta, ideal with refined starters, raw fish and shellfish, delicate first courses, and steamed or grilled fish.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 8–10°C.
