Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
Franciacorta Brut Riserva Arcano shows an intense golden yellow color and
nuances of golden yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage.
The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start
with hints of apple, plum and bread crust followed by aromas of citrus
fruits, banana, yeast, hazelnut, hawthorn and praline. 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 apple, plum and hazelnut. Franciacorta
Brut Riserva Arcano referments in bottle on its lees for 11 years. |
