Cascina Clarabella's efforts are commendable. This multifaceted producer is involved in various endeavors: the agricultural cooperative boasts dozens of hectares within the Franciacorta production zone. Cascina Clarabella is also an agritourism and an environmental education center, complete with a farm, while as a social cooperative, it creates job opportunities and inclusion for people with physical and mental disabilities. Their restaurant, Centottanta, pays tribute to the 1978 law in Italy that mandated the closure of asylums, rehabilitating mental health patients as valued community members. The Riserva Dés Aign 2011, made exclusively from chardonnay, is symphonically harmonious, offering up white peach and ginger nuances, and gracing the palate with its velvety, meaty, and subtly spicy profile. The finish exhibits considerable overall integrity and freshness, coming through persistent and flavorful. The Franciacorta Rosé Extra Brut Annalisa Faifer '19 is more linear and fragrant, playing on delightful tones of orange peel and raspberries.
