Tenuta La Vigna "Anna Botti" Sboccatura Tardiva Brut Nature

Extended ageing. Exceptional finesse. A pinnacle of Italian sparkling craftmanship.

From the picturesque hills of Capriano del Colle in Lombardy, Tenuta La Vigna presents Anna Botti Sboccatura Tardiva Brut Nature — a sparkling wine that celebrates the beauty of time. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay and made in the traditional method, this organic cuvée spends an extraordinary 70 months resting on its lees before disgorgement, earning the name Sboccatura Tardiva — “late disgorgement.” The result is a wine of rare finesse, complexity, and depth.

Its golden hue and delicate, persistent bubbles open to a refined bouquet of brioche, dried fruit, and citrus zest, underpinned by subtle mineral tones and whispers of almond and white flowers. On the palate, it’s rich yet crystalline, marrying texture and freshness in perfect harmony. Each sip reveals a new nuance — from creamy hazelnut to a saline, stony finish that lingers long after the glass is empty.

For Irish wine lovers, Anna Botti is a remarkable sparkling wine to savour on special occasions or pair with refined dishes — think shellfish, smoked salmon, aged cheeses, or truffle risotto. It brings a sense of quiet luxury to any table, a reminder that patience in winemaking always rewards.

Why we love it:
We love Anna Botti for its depth and purity — a sparkling wine that wears its age with grace. Long lees ageing and zero dosage give it both substance and clarity, creating a wine that feels timeless. It’s a taste of Lombardy elegance that fits beautifully on Ireland’s most refined occasions.
