Tenuta Villa Crespia
The Muratori family has always been deeply rooted in the Franciacorta area. For over twenty years, Villa Crespia has dedicated itself to the exclusive production of Franciacorta, with grapes from its vineyards. The 57 hectares of vineyards (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) are located in each of the six vocational units of Franciacorta. From the 2020 harvest, the Muratori family has the chance to make use of the precious Consulting of Dottor Riccardo Cotarella and his Team. A choice that anticipates a new path for Villa Crespia, which immediately materialises in new important investments in the cellar.
Continuing the path of SUSTAINABILITY, Villa Crespia manages its vineyards in an organic regime and it is furthermore self-sufficient from an energy point of view thanks to its agro photovoltaic system.
Riserva del Gelso Villa Crespia Franciacorta
Grapes: Pinot Noir
Notes: Riserva del Gelso is our selection of Franciacorta obtained mainly by Pinot noir grapes that are soft pressed to have just first pressing must.
After a careful selection of the best Pinot noir grapes, it follows the soft pressing to obtain the fist pressing musts, vinified mainly in steel and as mall part in barriques. After 6-7 months from the harvest, the wine that has fermented and aged in wood comes together with the part vinified in steel.
The wines for the Riserva del Gelso are distinguished by greater structure balanced by good acidity, fundamental factors for obtain-ing an extremely long-lasting Franciacorta which is aged in bottle on its lees for over 60months.
