Appearance: The wine is brilliant, straw yellow in color with a greenish hue. Fine, numerous, and long-lasting bubbles are observed.
Aroma: Intense and elegant notes of fresh apple, pears, citrus, and hints of bread crust intertwine in the wine's aroma.
Taste: The taste is pronounced, perceived as soft, with pronounced freshness and minerality. The wine is elegant, rounded, medium-bodied, and long-lasting. Fruit notes linger in the mouth.
Conclusion: The wine is composed of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir. It has 12.5% alcohol, 5 g/L residual sugar, 7.5 g/L total acids, and a pH value of 3.12. The preparation of the cuvée includes secondary fermentation in the bottle and aging on its own lees for at least 24 months. It pairs excellently with typical Franciacorta dishes such as casoncelli (ravioli) and freshwater fish, as well as dishes based on rice, pasta, white meat, and fresh and semi-mature cheeses.
