The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01The Franciacorta DOCG, produced by Barboglio de Gaioncelli in the Extra Brut style, presents with the promise of a 2019 vintage. The lengthy 54 months of aging on lees, combined with a brief 6/8 month period in steel, promises notable olfactory and gustatory complexity, with Pinot Noir grapes imparting depth.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, a vibrant freshness is perceived, with a mousse that caresses the palate. This sparkling wine proves to be a versatile table companion, ideal for accompanying fish tartare and aged cheeses.
