From the time we tasted the amarone with Francesca at her winery, this has been an absolute favorite. Intensely aromatic violet and deep woodsy red fruit. Gorgeous silky texture envelopes the first tantalizingly bright on the tongue at first giving way to full body complex mix of silky spice-wrapped tone-in-tone darker fruit. — 8 years ago
A well off friend did bring this one to our Friday tasting at the wine store ---- and yesterday I first liked it and then was unimpressed??? Just a bunch of acid and little fruit behind it so my bet was this will not make it. Michele I think she is a sommelier agreed. So this morning I am sitting here in the sun and give it a second shot after air for 15 hours (that should do it 😁). AND? I was wrong! Red currant nose very Burgundian 12.8%. In a blind tasting I would think this is a Gevrey Chambertin. Tealeaves, forest floor, dirt, cloves, all spice, dark berries and just a super tiny hint at California fruit very impressive! So the problem is how long do you need to give this air 30 min or 15 hours oh boy 👍🍷🍷🍷. — 9 years ago

Here’s another Franciacorta that you could sip every day and on every occasion, showing layers of complexity and broad appeal. Strawberry, pear, stone fruit pit, floral aromatics and toast. Soft and clean the palate, wonderfully fresh. — 7 years ago
