  85% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Blanc. Disgorged 2013/03. Clear, bright lemon, with moderate perlage. Developed nose, bordering on the oxidized, with bruised yellow apple, ripe lemon, toast, hazelnut, brioche, due to more than 24 mos of less aging. The palate is dry, with med to med (+) acidity, med alcohol (13%). Nicely balanced, with med (+) flavor intensity and length, but very developed on the finish. Drink now, past its prime, unless you favor development and tertiary notes.

  Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. 85% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Blanc. Disgorged 2013/03. Clear, bright lemon, with moderate perlage.

Nicely balanced, with med (+) flavor intensity and length, but very developed on the finish. Drink now, as it is possibly past its prime, unless you favor development and tertiary notes.

  Franciacorta base e sboccatura 05/17 e rimasto un anno e mezzo in cantina. Ha acquisito complessita', burrosita' e tostatura. Naso cangiante tra brioche e limone. In bocca e' pieno, limonato, quasi tagliente, ma con una bolla piacevole e intrigante. Bevuto con un salmone bio al forno con pomodorini, capperi e olive.
