This Franciacorta is crisp and dry with high acidity and fine, persistent bubbles, and at the same time it has a creamy, mature core from its time on the lees. The bubbles and acidity cut through fat and salt and cleanse the palate, while the soft, mineral body can keep up with slightly richer dishes without being steamrolled. Serve it as an aperitif or with light starters, but also let it meet shellfish, butter-fried poultry and salted cheese, where the contrast between the cool mousse and the warm, fatty food gives a fresh lift.

About the wine

In 1927, Baron Edoardo Pizzini founded one of the first golf courses in Italy. Franciacorta Golf 1927 honors the innovative spirit with its feminine golf figure. Innovation is a clear value at Barone Pizzine, who were the first to produce organic wine from Franciacorta.

Critic reviews

91Falstaff
This has a pale straw yellow colour, with luminous reflections. There are aromas of roasted almond, wet stone and very ripe grapefruit on the nose. It is precise and linear on the palate, spreading sharply over the tongue, appearing very dry for a brut sparkling wine, although consistent with the house line.
