Description

Perfumed is an adjective that greatly characterizes this wine.

This Franciacorta plays a balancing act between complexity and smoothness. When poured, it has a straw yellow color, with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fresh and elegant, with clear aromas of hawthorn, bread crust, balsamic notes, nuances of rennet apple, dried figs and peanuts. Soft in the mouth, but not sweet, it has a fresh and pleasant flavour. The finish is long and decisive, very pleasant on the palate.

If you don't know this winery and its Franciacortas, you have the opportunity to evaluate an extremely versatile and excellent accompaniment bottle, without anything envious of the major Franciacorta houses.
