Ferghettina

Bright, lively and very approachable with a citrus fruits and golden apple character.

Producer Information

Situated in the southern half of Lombardy on the edge of the town of Adro, just south of Lake Iseo, the majority of plantings are Chardonnay (approx. 70%) along with Pinot Noir (and just 4ha of Pinot Blanc for their still wines).

They now have 200ha of vineyard across 11 different villages, mostly at 250-300m altitude. Each vineyard confers a unique character on the resulting base wine, giving Roberto a broad spectrum of styles to blend for each cuvée. It is this skilful blending, meticulous attention to detail and long bottle maturation that give Ferghettina`s wines great finesse and individuality.

Wine Making

The Gatti family manage 120 hectares of vineyards in six localities within the DOC. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tank at controlled temperature between 16 and 18°C with selected yeast. Tirage is done in spring time of the following year, the wine spends 30 months ageing on the lees. At disgorgement 7 grams/litre of sugar is added.

Tasting Note

Bright, lively and very approachable with a citrus fruits and golden apple character.

Food Matching

Drink as an aperitif, or with starters and light mains such as shellfish, cold meats, and light, soft cheeses.
