WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lugana Brut Cantina Franzosi is produced using the Classic Method (Metodo Classico), involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle. The grapes, 100% Trebbiano di Lugana, are hand-harvested in September to preserve acidity. A soft pressing is employed to extract the grape's delicate aromas. Following initial fermentation, the wine undergoes a minimum of 18 months of aging in the bottle, maturing on its yeasts for at least 20 months on racks to develop its characteristic complexity and effervescence.
