Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a brilliant 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
banana, pear and apple followed by aromas of bread crust, acacia, yeast and
plum. 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 apple, pear and banana. Franciacorta
Brut ages for at least 20 months in bottle on its lees.
