We are already in the fifteenth century when they are documented for the first time possessions of the Cavalleri family in Erbusco, but it is from the late sixties onwards, thanks to the contribution of Gian Paolo Cavalleri and his son Giovanni, that the company begins its contemporary journey, carving out a space between the companies that have been able to enhance the vocation of the land and the quality of Franciacorta wines. Led today by Giovanni’s nephews, Cavalleri owns 42 hectares of vineyards, processed according to principles of maximum respect for the environment and ecosystem, so as to be able to guarantee in the cellar grapes of the highest quality, able to best represent their seasonal and varietal characteristics. Produced only in the best vintages, Franciacorta Riserva Giovanni Cavalleri represents the top of the company’s production. Assembled with only Chardonnay grapes, partially aged in steel, large cask and barrique over the fifth passage for 8% of the total, after fermentation, in bottle this Franciacorta Riserva ages on lees for 9 years. The result is a sparkling wine of extraordinary complexity and depth. The color has a beautiful golden yellow color, with a fine and persistent bubble, the nose predominates buttery notes and small pastry, lemon cream, vanilla, beautifully balanced by fresh and balsamic notes of elder and eucalyptus. The mouthfeel is creamy and fragrant, full of hints of toasted and ripe sensations, with a touch of flavor in the finish. This Exclusive Collection of Cavalleri is definitely a special bottle, perfect to drink during a romantic dinner, this Zero Dosage can be extremely versatile when paired, proving itself in combination with seafood preparations, like lobster linguine or lobster carpaccio. To fully appreciate its style, this Franciacorta must be served at a serving temperature of 8/10 ºC.
