Sparkling Wine Brut Metodo Classico Cuvée 60
The Cuvée 60 Brut sparkling wine by Casa Caterina is an artisanal, complex and elegant wine, obtained from a very long aging on the lees and bottled without any correction. It is classified as Brut, but no dosage is added to express the purity of the territory of origin. The vineyards are located in the municipality of Monticelli Brusati in Franciacorta and have sandy, clayey and calcareous soil. Casa Caterina is a biodynamic company that rejects fashions and labels and has decided not to classify its wines as Franciacorta DOCG. Cuvée 60 is a blanc de blancs made with great precision and craftsmanship.
The harvest is manual. The grapes are gently pressed to obtain the purest free-run must. The must is naturally clarified and ferments in steel vats without the addition of selected yeasts, but only with indigenous yeasts. After the second fermentation, the sparkling wine ages in autolysis on the lees for 60 months, or 5 years, as if it were a Riserva. It is bottled without the addition of sulphites and without dosage.
