Cuvée Real Magnum Con Astuccio

Antica Fratta represents an undisputed point of reference in the Italian wine scene, particularly in the production of Franciacorta DOCG. Its roots are in the heart of Franciacorta, in an area that has been suited to viticulture for centuries. The history of Antica Fratta began in the mid-19th century, when the Cavaliere di Gran Croce Luigi Rossetti, a wealthy wine merchant, acquired an old farmhouse dating back to the 16th century in the Fratta district of Monticelli Brusati. Rossetti, fascinated by the potential of the area, decided to transform the farmhouse into a residence and to renovate the old cellars, dedicating them to winemaking. Since then, Antica Fratta has been passed down from generation to generation, maintaining its bond with tradition and love for the land. Today, the winery is led by descendants of the Rossetti family, who continue to pursue excellence in the production of Franciacorta. The vineyards of Antica Fratta extend in the heart of Franciacorta for about 35 hectares around the villa. Antica Fratta is constantly committed to the pursuit of quality. The winery participates in numerous national and international competitions, obtaining prestigious results. Furthermore, Antica Fratta is a member of the Franciacorta Consortium, which protects and promotes the Franciacorta brand throughout the world.

Antica Fratta’s Cuvée Real represents excellence in the production of Franciacorta, expressing the full potential of this territory renowned for its high-quality sparkling wines. Produced with a blend of Chardonnay (90%) and Pinot Noir (10%) grapes, Cuvée Real benefits from careful vinification and prolonged aging on the lees for at least 24 months. This practice, typical of the Classic Method, gives the wine aromatic complexity and a solid structure. The grapes used for the production of Cuvée Real come from vineyards located on the moraine hills of Franciacorta, a terroir characterized by calcareous-clayey soils rich in minerals. Viticulture is conducted with great care, favoring sustainable practices and respecting the balance of the ecosystem.
