Franciacorta

Sparkling Wine

750 ml

Sourced from 100% Chardonnay, this exquisite Franciacorta starts off with elegant flavors of cornbread, butter, and almonds. As it opens up, aromas of white flowers, peaches, and cheese emerge on the nose. The delicacy of the petillance combined with complex aromas and refreshing acidity result in an outstanding, long-lasting wine that never ceases to amaze. The citrus aromas intertwined with flavors of brioche, vanilla, and cumin and a delightful green apple, tart finish come together perfectly to justify Franciacorta’s worldwide recognition. Aging for up to 30 months on the lees give this wine a fine and persistent petillance that serves as a perfect aperitif.

About the Winery:

Castelnovo winery is based between Passirano and Paderno Franciacorta, where Giancarlo Castelnovo works the 2ha of land since 2000. The limestone bedrock covered with calcareous gravel and sandy morainal soils make this an outstanding place to grow Chardonnay. Everything is done by hand; and small production enables complete control over the whole production
process in this artisanal winemaking.
