Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
Franciacorta Brut Vintage shows a pale golden yellow color and nuances of
straw yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage. The nose
reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start
with hints of banana, pear and apple followed by aromas of pineapple,
acacia, tangerine, white rose, bread crust, star anise, plum and praline.
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 banana, tangerine and apple. A
well made wine. Franciacorta Brut Vintage ages in the bottle on its lees
for 60 months.
