Description

BWW 2022 - Best Italy Wine Critic of the World

Luca Gardini

Nose of chinotto and kiwi, savory, taut mouth, with a nice crunchiness, with a return, on the finish, of the citrus trace.

The Franciacorta Brut Millesimato di Barbalonga is born in vineyards located on the slopes of Monte Orfano, in the Brescia municipality of Rovato.

It is produced mainly with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand from the second decade of August to the first of September. After the classic vinification processes, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, according to the Metodo Classico, with ageing for 36 months on its own yeasts.

It is characterized by a golden yellow colour, an abundant froth and a very fine and persistent perlage. The nose opens with an intense and complex bouquet, with hints of dried fruit, tobacco and spices, enriched by elegant notes of toasted. On the palate it is soft and full-bodied, pleasantly savory.

Perfect to accompany truffle risotto and cassoeula, it is ideal in combination with fish, in particular with smoked salmon.
