This Franciacorta is full in body, yet carried by a healthy acidity and fine bubbles that cleanse the palate and cut through fat and cream. That is why it thrives both with creamy, butter-fried dishes and with salty, fatty cheeses, where the bubbles lift and the freshness balances. Its chalky minerality and clean expression make it a fine companion to shellfish and light meats prepared with rich sauces, while a good cheese board truly brings its structure into play.

About the wine

Honest and dense taste, rich in structure and healthy acidity. Part of the grapes come from a higher altitude vineyard, Pian delle Viti, which in the Middle Ages was called Valle Sospesa or "Suspended Valley". Its calcareous soil gives the wine a delicious mineral note. Its spark is Franciacorta in its purest expression.

Critic reviews

Intense, bright hay yellow. Very yellow fruit and sweet nose, clearly of white chocolate and vanilla bean, oak scent, butter and ripe peach. Wide on the palate, opens in many layers, well integrated beads, should be enjoyed from a burgundy glass.
