Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This Franciacorta Brut Satèn shows a brilliant golden yellow color and
nuances of golden yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage.
The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start
with hints of banana, praline and hazelnut followed by aromas of acacia,
citrus fruits, pineapple, hawthorn, pear, butter, apple and plum. The mouth
has good correspondence to the nose, an effervescent and crisp attack,
however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The
finish is persistent with flavors of apple, plum and pineapple. A part of
the base wine used for this Franciacorta ages in barrique. This
Franciacorta ages in bottle on its lees for 33 months.
