Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This Franciacorta Non Dosato shows a pale golden yellow color and nuances of
straw yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage. The nose
reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start
with hints of bread crust, plum and banana followed by aromas of acacia,
yeast, hawthorn, apple, pear, honey, grapefruit, hazelnut and mineral. The
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an effervescent and crisp
attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing
roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of plum, banana,
grapefruit and hazelnut. This Franciacorta Non Dosato referments in bottle
on its lees for at least 60 months. |
