Sparkling Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

Franciacorta Cuvette Brut shows a pale straw 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 tangerine followed by aromas of bread crust, yeast, acacia, hawthorn, apple, hazelnut, plum, broom, butter and hints of vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an effervescent and crisp attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of banana, apple and plum. A well made wine. Franciacorta Cuvette Brut referments in bottle for at least 42 months.
