N. Brioche, round, complex, nearly perfect, also with spicy hints (mineral, white peppercorn) and interesting fruit notes like apricot and buttery apple (cake) and always in the background this lemon peel notes…great!
T. The perfect sip, very good acidity, perfect minerality (like a cold mountain stream with moosy banks) and a long green (twigs, ivy) finish. Lemon again (dryed, peel) and salty notes as well… Elegant and cool! sexy!
So much better than the other vintage that I had years ago - don’t buy, I need more :))

Apricots, nectarines, peaches and cream. Fresh baked bread. There is a good mix of fruit and autolytic flavors on this Franciacorta (unlike some, that seem to be so dominated by the yeast). Medium + body, GREAT acid and a soft mousse. Reminds me of Saten Franciacorta, though it's not.

Autolysis flavours enough to pass for a Champagne, albeit a N.V. perhaps. Very good QPR!

By the glas in Sarnico, Enoteca Tresanda, open for 24 hours (best guess).
N. Rounf , typical, a bit boring, bakery notes.
P. Acid, balanced, typical, nothing special.
