  Clean, delicious, slightly non-brut, good bubbles. Very good value and a cut above most prosecco.

  7 Days in Italy II; 2/17/2019-2/23/2019: Started this project in 1990s (Franciacorta established in 1990). Planted 44ha of experimental vineyard for the region to investigate sparkling in Alta Langhe. Their chief agronomist did the planting.
  ‘the high hills of Langhe.’
  1999 was their first vintage. 2002 DOC, 2008 DOCG.
  80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, 46m on the lees. 6-7g/l dosage.
  Oak to the nose ‘this can’t be all lees contact.’ But yes, it cleans up with time in the glass. Vanilla cream to the aromas. Very crisp. Macadamia nut on the palate.
  Only vintage sparkling wines in the appellation. Very dynamic wine, lots of complexity. White fruit, lavender, purple fruit, lavender candy palate.
