Tasting notes

• A truly “original” wine, not merely the fruit of the vines, but first and foremost of time. A sublime Franciacorta, which, 42 years later, expresses all its complexity – a deep straw yellow color with evident golden highlights and an intense and explosive nose. The initial sensations are surprising, with hints of undergrowth, musk and fern, which testify to its extensive aging on the lees with a natural cork stopper. Distinctive candied citrus and quince jam notes merge with roasted hazelnuts and caramel. A fragrant Franciacorta, which, in contact with air, develops iodine, beeswax and cedarwood nuances. On the palate, it displays astonishing soundness and intensity, an almost “fleshy” creaminess, with a powerful aromatic finish.
