Cascina San Pietro Franciacorta Brut

Franciacorta Brut by Cascina San Pietro, produced in Lombardy, 12.5% ABV, 100% Chardonnay. 0.75L bottle. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with soft pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation. Aged on the lees for at least 30 months. Light and delicate aroma, with hints of wood, bread crust, almond, and a light citrus note. Straw yellow, with a soft foam and a fine, persistent perlage. The palate is full, with a hint of almond on the finish and a very, very persistent finish. Excellent as an aperitif, with fish, shellfish, and appetizers.
