It had fruit notes that were mildly exotic. There was plenty of yeasty whiffs and it was rich and creamy in the mouth. Length of flavour was very good.

Another great Franciacorta from Andrea Arici. A blend of 90% Chardonnay grapes & 10% Pinot Noir, this Pàs Dosè (Dosaggio Zero) shows a gorgeous pale gold, intense and brilliant. The perlage is fine and continuous. The nose has great complexity, finely toasted dried fruit, orange flowers and herbs underlined by mineral freshness. The mouth is full, juicy, snappy, ample, with great energy. Long finsih full of character

The tasting glass didn't let me appreciate the perlage, so this time I'll have to skip that part. Yeast and bread-like aromas leave the first impression on the nose, but there are also hints of tea leaves and citrus. The mouth is very dry, with a medium body and a pronounced acidity. A flavour of bitter herbs lingers in the aftertaste. Very elegant and mineral.

Un bel dosaggio zero di Franciacorta. Belle bollicine fitte, naso discretamente complesso (credo ci sia un piccola percentuale di Pinot Nero oltre allo Chardonnay) con in evidenza i profumi di lievito. In bocca piacevole mineralità e buona freschezza. Molto buono.

Impromptu tasting @ my place (Netherlands): Bouquet is extensive and inviting: yellow fruits, warm straw and brioche. Good and broad entrance, but towards the finish acidity and bitterness dominate the palate. Overall balance is improving when the wines warms up a little: it's getting more friendly, fruity and open.

No formal notes, a bit different type of Franciacorta, fairly strong cassis, surprisingly quite a lot of Savignon Blanc flavours.

Si sente che non è dosato, buono con un'acidita' un po' sopra le righe
