@Delectable Wine: This is the Majolini 1981 Franciacorta Brut. I didn’t see it in the database.

My knowledge base around Franciacorta is minimal, so when seeing this available, I jumped on it.

2016 vintage. 90/10 chard/Pinot. 3yrs on the lees. I still haven’t found a perfect correlation between bubble size and region, but this was another case where the bubbles were slightly larger than most champagnes. Bright with great texture. Comes across as a nice US Cali sparkler…not much yeast, but plenty of ripe yellow fruit, honeycomb, and an airy sea breeze type flair. While not powerful or complex sparkler, it’s not a simple one either. Worked well with ceviche and arancini. — 2 years ago
