Winemaking: The grapes were harvested separately to balance acidity, freshness and aromatic complexity. Once the ideal harvesting time of each parcel is decided according to the ideal point of maturation, the grapes are harvested by hand and transported in boxes, in the shortest time for their transformation into the winery. After the whole grapes were pressed, the wort was cold decanted and, after it, cleaned. It performed the first alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperature, between 14°C/57°F and 16°C/61°F and did not performed the malolatic fermentation to preserve its aromas, volume and acidity. It remained under the surlies with conservation temperature of 10°C/50°F during thinning, where several times the batonnage occurred, which gave it volume and amplitude in the mouth. Afterwards, it was made the assemblage between the last 3 harvests to proceed with the second fermentation lasting about 90 days, resulting in a medium-volume in mouth sparkling wine, good creaminess, good definition and integration of fruit, flavor pleasant and refreshing.

Soil and microclimate: Granitic-sandy soil, low organic matter content and excellent drainage.

Vineyards: The vines are managed through the espalier system, with a production of 9 Ton/ha - 2.8 kg/plant. In order to obtain the correct vegetative balance of the plant, green prunings have been applied to establish a good activity of the photosynthetic leaf wall, and the production of grapes per plant has been reduced. Harvest: Manual harvesting with selection of bunches in the vineyard.

Roberto Gatti spent 20 years as cellarmaster and viticulturalist at Bellavista, one of the early pioneers of the Franciacorta region, before creating Ferghettina in 1990. A new winery and cellars, started in 2002, were completed in 2005 and sit in a magnificent location overlooking the beautiful Lake Iseo. Roberto is assisted by his daughter Laura, also an oenologist, shortly to be joined by his son Matteo. The Gatti's control production of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, using only half of the grapes available for their production of 300,000 bottles.

When it comes to English wine there’s a lot to shout about, not least the stunning sparkling wines from Henners. Based just 4 miles from the sea in Herstmonceux, East Sussex, the 10 acre vineyard was created in 2007 by ex-Formula One engineer, Lawrence Warr. Planted with traditional champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the vines thrive in an idyllic microclimate created by the vineyard’s proximity of the sea, low altitude (only 24 masl) and steep sunny south facing slopes. All Henners wines are hand-crafted from start to finish; with separate fermenting of varietals and their vine clones to allow a broader range of wines for final blending, extended lees ageing for added complexity, and holding back of all bottles for at least 4 years prior to release to add depth and richness. Henners – exclusive English Sparkling Wines of the finest quality. Crafted with every attention to detail, they are a perfect accompaniment to any occasion.
