  I would take this over Prosecco any day. Very dry and mineral. Pleasant fruit, good acidity. Not champagne but maybe the next best thing.

  The producer who started Franciacorta designation. This is roughly 90/10 Chardonnay/Pinot noir.
  
  Compared to the Majolini I opened a few months back, this is a bit more crisp. The best compliment I can give this wine is that it comes across as a non-descript champagne. It’s not overly fruity or too steely like some Franciacorta can be, it’s perfectly balanced for the style. No yeast. It’s fairly creamy, with peach, caramel dipped apple and a slightly brisk/savory finish (almond/walnut like, but not champagne-nutty). Semi-mineral driven finish. Good at the $30’ish price.
