FROM THE EARTH TO THE GLASS
01.The origin of ‘Terrenove’
Franciacorta began as a true terra nova: a once marshy area that Cluniac monks patiently transformed into fertile, living soil during the Middle Ages.
Canals, orchards and the first vineyards sprang up thanks to their work, shaping a landscape that we now recognise as the cradle of great wines.
The name “Franciacorta”, documented since 1277, derives from “francae curtes”: the monastic courts that were exempt from taxes due to their land reclamation work.
A legacy that tells the story of the essence of this place: a land redeemed, regenerated and reinvented.
A Terra Nova, in fact.
“From the heart of Franciacorta
to your table, Terrenove transforms grapes into stories of passion, elegance and beauty to be shared..”
02.the process
​
From the earth to the glass.
Every bottle of Franciacorta is the result of a careful and patient process: from the meticulous manual harvest to the selection of the cuvées, through to bottle ageing and DOCG certification. A journey that transforms grapes into unique sparkling wines, ready to be enjoyed.
Harvest and pressing
The manual harvest, between August and September, brings intact bunches to the winery, where they are gently pressed to obtain a pure must that is stored at a controlled temperature.
Cuvée
During spring, the bases are tasted, selected and blended to define the unique style of the cuvée.
Tirage and agein
The wine is bottled with sugars and yeasts, starting a second fermentation which, during at least 18 months of rest, creates the bubbles and develops aromatic complexity.
Remuage
The bottles are gradually rotated to convey the yeasts into the neck, preparing the wine for the next stage.
Disgorging
The yeast deposit is removed by freezing the neck and naturally ejecting the cork under pressure.
Bottling and packagin
The level is restored with or without dosage, the sugar content is defined and the bottle is closed with the traditional mushroom-shaped cork and wire cage.
Banding
Before sale, each bottle receives the DOCG band that certifies its origin, authenticity and traceability.
