Barone Pizzini 2014 Nature (Franciacorta)
Inviting scents of bread crust, orchard fruit and chamomile mingle together on this extremely elegant sparkler. It's radiant, delivering yellow apple, lemon zest, toasted hazelnut and mineral flavors accompanied by vibrant acidity. The bone-dry finish is softened by a refined perlage of small, continuous bubbles that impart finesse. Kerin O’Keefe

The flavors are savory, fresh, fine and harmonious. -
