Description
Franciacorta extra brut Anthologie Blanc 2016 Camilucci
Variety: Pinot Nero 100%
100% Chardonnay
Intense and brilliant straw yellow color.
The nose does not hesitate to determine itself as excellent. Very fine in quality, with aromas of flowers, fresh fruit and honey. Then it turns towards marine notes and Mediterranean scrub ideas. It concludes with spices, dried fruit and the essence of pastry. Even intense, as well as valuable and elegant in the way of showing itself.
On the palate it is confirmed of absolute value. Obtained exclusively from the free-run must, it is full-bodied and at the same time sharp and vertical. From entry to escape, it keeps itself in balance and harmony, as very few Franciacortas manage to do. The minerality is also excellent, adequate to prolong the sensations of pleasantness for a long time.
Even with the Blancc de Blancs Stefano reaches the top of the supreme balance, between volume and verticality. Anthologie blanc, like its twin Noir, in the 2016 vintage is certainly one of the best italian sparkling wines.
