{"product_id":"le-fracce-peu-moussant-riesling-brut","title":"Le Fracce 'Peu Moussant' Brut, Lombardy, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003e2024 Le Fracce Peu Moussant Brut is an energetic Riesling Renano sparkling wine that combines bright orchard fruit with fine bubbles and a distinctly savory freshness. Grown on sandy-clay soils, the Riesling is softly pressed and fermented in stainless steel before a second fermentation using the Charmat method. Its deliberately restrained pressure gives the bubbles an elegant, gentle presence rather than an aggressive mousse. Fresh apple and apricot lead the profile, while the palate balances appealing roundness with crisp acidity, lively effervescence and a clean, sapid finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fondazione Bussolera-Branca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnologist \u0026amp; Agronomist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roberto Gerbino\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling Renano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 hectares, planted in 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandy clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e East and west\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElevation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150-200 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guyot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYield:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 80 q\/ha, with a maximum production of about 1.5 kg per vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eco-sustainable vineyard management with treatments kept to a minimum and without synthetic products or antibotrytis treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-harvested with strict selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft pressing of whole grapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel at approximately 18°C for 25 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charmat method in pressurized tanks at approximately 15°C for one month\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 4 atmospheres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright straw yellow with a fine, lively perlage.
