Brut Cuvèe 36 Nature Casa Caterina

Brut Nature Cuvée 36: elegance that matures over time

The Brut Nature Cuvée 36 from Casa Caterina is one of the winery’s most captivating creations, a true expression of the Traditional Method. With its 36-month aging on lees, this sparkling wine represents the perfect balance between freshness, complexity, and finesse. Made from a cuvée of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with grapes grown according to strict biodynamic principles, Cuvée 36 is a wine that perfectly embodies the essence of Franciacorta through its extraordinary elegance.

In the vineyard: biodynamic practices for quality

Casa Caterina adopts biodynamic principles in the management of its vineyards, focusing on environmental respect and biodiversity. The Guyot pruning system and low yields per vine are essential practices to ensure that each grape cluster reaches its optimal quality. Harvesting is done manually, with careful selection of the best bunches, ensuring that only the finest grapes are used for winemaking.

In the cellar: natural fermentation and long aging

The must is gently pressed and ferments spontaneously in stainless steel tanks, without the addition of selected yeasts, to preserve the authenticity of the wine. The secondary fermentation follows the Traditional Method, with a minimum of 36 months aging on lees, which imparts complexity and unique finesse to the wine. Without dosage, the Brut Nature Cuvée 36 is a pure and impeccable wine that reflects the quality of the vineyard and cellar work.

Tasting profile: freshness and complexity

The Brut Nature Cuvée 36 presents a brilliant golden-yellow color with fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose, there are notes of white fruit, such as green apple, accompanied by citrus and yeast hints, enriched with aromas of bread crust and toasted almonds. On the palate, the wine is fresh, creamy, and savory, with a long-lasting finish and a mineral finale that invites another sip.

Food pairings and serving

This sparkling wine pairs perfectly with raw fish, shellfish, sushi, and delicate risottos. Its structure and aromatic profile also make it ideal with fresh cheeses, white meats, and elegant vegetable-based dishes. Ideal serving temperature: 8–10 °C.
