The denomination boasted by this sensational Franciacorta is that of Franciacorta Riserva DOCG. The composition is represented by a Blend of Chardonnay mainly for 55% to which is added Pinot Bianco for 25%, and Pinot Nero for 20%. The origin of the 19 Chardonnay vines, with an average age of 36, is located in Erbusco, Adro, Corte Franca, Iseo and Passirano. The two Pinot Bianco vineyards, with an average age of 25 years are located in Passirano. And the eight Pinot Nero vineyards, with an average age of 31 years, are Erbusco, Iseo and Passirano. The vinification of Annamaria Clementi is the result of the pursuit of excellence, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The base wines are obtained exclusively from very first pressing musts. Alcoholic fermentation takes place exclusively in small oak barrels, obtained from selected woods and aged for at least 3 years. Here the wine remains on its own yeasts for another 6 months, during which the malolactic fermentation takes place. Only the wine from the best barrels, of the 29 base wines of origin, is tapped to give rise to Annamaria Clementi. A pair of flying tanks transfers it by gravity, from the barrels to the assembly tank. A very long aging in contact with the yeasts, which lasts for more than 8 years, determines its uniqueness. An absolute Franciacorta. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen, using a unique system in the world, designed and patented by Ca 'del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites, making our Franciacortas purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked, to ensure its traceability.
