The colour is light but dull ruby with even some slight tangy brim already... Surprised to see from a 2017 bottle. The nose is bright luscious red fruits of cherry and strawberry. Very modern approach which makes it a nice perfume. The ripeness is very inviting On palate, it's a thick layer of concentrated, balanced acidity. A nice sharp wine but you can't help but wished for a bit of roundedness on the back end.

This is the first ever Franciacorta I have ever tasted. Honestly, my initial thought was how can this be so full and contentful that it reminds me of a vintage champagne. Color was already straw yellow with a dense concentrated nose of creamy lemon butter. Perfuming nose that would make you think aged blanc de blanc champagne. A well rounded palate with strength and acidity. This would knock out most NV champagne houses. Brilliant.

Clear transparent ruby with purplish hues Lovely nose shows violets, chocolate and some cloves Concentrated palate with a long finish. Full of fruity tannins that gives this a lot of potential... Will need a good few years.
