Description
Franciacorta DOCG is made from a selection of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero grapes, hand-picked into crates of up to 18 kg. It ages for a minimum of 24 months in bottle. It has an intense straw-yellow color with delicate greenish highlights and a compact, persistent, and perfectly present effervescence. The initial nose reveals sweet notes of marzipan, open flowers, broom, and honeysuckle; the finish is elegant, complex, and refined; later, notes of nougat, chopped hazelnuts, and spices emerge, along with candied ginger blending with citron. On the palate, it is savory and smooth, with both the impact and finish enveloping and creamy. It is decidedly versatile, combining great drinkability with intense aromas, finishing tasty and quite full, with hints of acacia and macadamia nuts.
