Tasting Notes

Franciacorta is one of the best-kept secrets among lovers of traditionally made sparkling wine. Champagne and Cava are fairly well understood in our market: Franciacorta less so. Not to be outdone, the region stipulates the wine must receive longer lees contact than the minimum required for Cava and Champagne. A case in point is this Brut, which receives 36 months of aging on lees before disgorgement.

The result is a better expression of the yeasty, brioche notes so sought after among Champagne drinkers. This Brut is made primarily from Chardonnay with some Pinot Noir (10%). It exhibits a very fine beading in the glass. Classic aromas of brioche along with delicate flowers and stone fruit. Bubbles are persistent in the mouth, the wine is fresh with apple and citrus fruit, finishing clean with subtle toastiness.

Food Pairings

It is an excellent aperitif and fine accompaniment to fish, seafood and delicate first courses.
