90 Points, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate “The NV Franciacorta Brut is a delicious wine with a great level of energy and freshness. If you are looking for a classic expression of Italian sparkling wine from Franciacorta, this is your wine. It presents a tonic mouthfeel with steely effervescence and a clean, pristine finish. This is a fresh and lively sparkler that delivers great energy and personality. The blend is 80% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Nero and 10% Pinot Bianco.”
88 Points, Wine Spectator “Sleek acidity defines flavors of white cherry and salted almond, with light herb and citrus details that ride the creamy bead in this lively Franciacorta. Drink now through 2022. 41,666 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.”
90 Points, Wine Enthusiast “Chardonnay is the base of this creamy sparkler, with additions of Pinot Bianco and fragrant Pinot Nero. Together, these varieties produce a balanced and rich offering, with lingering aromas of nectarine, apricot, white almond and honey.”
