From the glass, complex and rich aromas unfold, reminiscent of wild saffron, honey, vanilla, almond-like nuttiness, freshly baked bread, and brioche.
The palate is incredibly creamy, with fine bubbles elegantly enveloping the tongue. This wine for special occasions offers a magnificent harmony of softness and depth from aging, along with a long, lingering finish.
It pairs exceptionally well with luxurious seafood such as lobster and spiny lobster.
It also harmonizes beautifully with rich dishes using truffles, like risotto and pasta, or those with butter and cream, further enhancing the wine's complex aromas and umami.
This wine is recommended for anniversaries, special dinners, and celebrations with loved ones.
The harvested grapes are carefully selected by hand, and only the first-press juice from soft pressing is used. Subsequent pressings, which can cause off-flavors and bitterness, are not used.
Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by long-term aging on yeasts. The aging period significantly exceeds Franciacorta regulations, resulting in incredibly delicate and creamy bubbles and complex aromas.
Only the highest quality vintages are released as Riserva, making production very limited.
