More questions
Cornaleto's Franciacorta DOCG Brut in magnum format offers an elegant, understated sparkling experience, suited to those who seek balance and freshness. In the glass it shows fine perlage and a pale straw colour; the aromatic profile suggests fresh fruit and white flowers, with a mineral note that enhances drinkability. On the palate it is dry and sapid, with balanced acidity and a pleasant persistence that invites slow sipping.
Ideal with fish starters, shellfish and vegetable dishes, this Franciacorta also works well as an aperitif wine for convivial occasions. The magnum format, beyond its visual impact, promotes a more even maturation in bottle, making it suitable for dinners and celebratory moments when a larger bottle is to be shared. Store in a cool, dark place; serve at a moderately cool temperature.
