NV Sunday bubbly from 84% chardonnay 12% Pinot Nero 4% Pino Bianco. Smell with fresh grapefruit, almonds, citrus impression, light brioche. Very pure taste with great Granny Smith apple acidity. Very good effort, this Franciacorta! 30 months sur lattes.

Yum!
Nose of apricot, honeysuckle.

Deliciously citrusy on the palette, Buddha palm and kumquat. Doughy at the end, with gravelly acidity.
Perfect pairing for the BBC radio one DJ’s tonight. Raving it up on Friday!

This is a nice and easy drinking sparking wine from Italy.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate, tangy and engaging.

Showing citrus, green apples, herbs, earth, yeast and minerals.

Good by itself or with food. Needs 30 minutes to open up properly, so be patient. I've had it before, but never gave it the chance to breathe. Worth the wait.

12% alcohol by volume.

Champagnoise made wine, with the freshness of italian style acids. Lovely brioche, toast and yeast giveaway the champaign style. The franciscorte comes in with the lemon zest full citric tast.
