Description

Winemaker Stefano Camilucci is an artist, handcrafting his artisanal Franciacorta wines with an uncompromising attention to detail and innovative winemaking techniques that truly set him apart from the competition.

Camilucci highlights a thought provoking distinction – that he produces still wines that are themselves ready to drink before they begin their secondary fermentation in bottle. He believes that other producers cut corners, starting their secondary fermentation before the wine is completely finished, resulting in a lower quality wine.

All of the wines are then aged a minimum of 5 years on the lees, considerably more than what’s required, in an effort to achieve ideal natural balance and approachability on release. And none of the wines ever so much as touch a barrel, as Camilucci strongly believes that “you only use barrels if your wine has no flavor.” Surely a bold statement, but boy do his wines have flavor…

A stunning offering, with impressive depth, complexity and freshness.
