#Disgorgement2010
One of the few companies in Franciacorta which boasts the #Guyot system. Very limited productions, bottles for sale no earlier than 10 years after harvest. Wines produced only when the vintages are considered "live".
Started to open after some time in the glass, oxidative layers, delicate mousse, shows up a medicinal background, good stuff.
