Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This Franciacorta Brut shows a pale straw yellow color and nuances of
greenish yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage. The node
denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints
of banana, hazelnut and apple followed by aromas of yeast, bread crust,
acacia, pear, plum, hawthorn and butter. 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, hazelnut and apple. This Franciacorta Brut
referments in bottle for at least 30 months. |
