Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
This Franciacorta shows a brilliant straw yellow color and nuances of straw
yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage. The nose denotes
intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of plum,
hazelnut and bread crust followed by aromas of banana, yeast, apple,
hawthorn and grapefruit. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an
effervescent and crisp attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body,
intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of banana, plum and
grapefruit. The base wine used for this Franciacorta ages in steel tanks. |
