Sparkling Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

Franciacorta Brut Riserva Arcano shows an intense 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 apple, plum and bread crust followed by aromas of citrus fruits, banana, yeast, hazelnut, hawthorn and praline. 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 apple, plum and hazelnut. Franciacorta Brut Riserva Arcano referments in bottle on its lees for 11 years.
