Rhone sunshine abound with red and blackberry notations all rolling into a lingering finish with white pepper.

FERGHETTINA FRANCIACORTA BRUT
$26.99 BTL./$161.94 - SIX PACK

Let’s face it, all of us wine lovers get faced with a dilemma. You are having a party and you need a good bottle of Champagne. Aunt Hilda and Uncle Harry will be there, and they really don’t know the difference between Krug and Korbel, but you don’t want to serve separate Champagnes for yourself and them, so what do you do? For us here at the Cellar Door, the best answer to the question is this wonderful Brut from Italy’s Franciacorta region, 2 hours east of Milan.

Franciacorta is widely renowned for producing some of the nation’s finest Champagne-influenced wines and Roberto Gatti’s Ferghettina estate has been in existence since 1991. In a short period, the family has launched themselves into world renown by receiving many accolades and awards from around the world. Ferghettina’s entry-level bubbly is 95% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Noir and like the majority of Champagne houses, Gatti ages it on the lees for 2 years before disgorgement and then another year in the bottle before release. Lovely aromas of apple, orange, toast, and stone on the nose. In the mouth, it has excellent apple fruit, with good concentration, well-framed acidity, a velvety mousse and a harmonious finish. A truly delicious sparkler that will put everyone in a good mood this holiday season or for any time you require a spot of the jumping grape!
