MaurizioAbba Likes this wine: 91 points
December 24, 2023 - pale golden color, with very fine mousse testifying the relative age of the wine.
The nose is fully developed with limited possibilities of improvements: fruity notes are present in the form of apricots, yellow peach, and some light citrus mature fruit (lemon juice), but the secondary notes are the dominant flavors: bread, croissant, butter notes gives the nose an uplifting complexity, while toffee and caramel are the tertiary components coming from the 10+ years of age.
In the mouth the wine is pretty refreshing, with medium+ acidity and a medium body (medium alcol). The mid palate tends to slightly drop and the acidity becomes slightly dominant, to go back to full integration in the aftertaste. The perlage is ridiculously fine, definitely the main feature of the wine. In the aftertaste, notes of butterscotch and lingering citrus fruit, almost tending to candied variety.
A very refined product. The acidity is always on first stage, making this a wonderful food-friendly wine. The stellar vintage is shown in the variety of flavors and liveliness of the palate: this is an entertaining product, and it won't fail to deliver interesting discussions. Removal of a few points is caused by the slightly spiky acidity in the mid palate
