The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    Franciacorta, a Metodo Classico sparkling wine that, by regulation, requires a long aging on its lees and a blend predominantly or exclusively of Chardonnay, is presented here in its Riserva Rarità di Santus version, a style on the lees that accentuates its uniqueness. In the glass, this 100% Chardonnay from Lombardy shows a delicate straw-yellow color, with greenish reflections and a fine, abundant perlage that develops with grace. On the nose, notes reminiscent of bread crust and dried fruit are perceived, an evolution of its prolonged rest.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, the lively effervescence caresses the palate, supporting a savory texture and an aromatic complexity that invites the discovery of the subtlest nuances. Perfect to accompany a plateau of fresh crustaceans, oysters, and first courses based on raw fish.
