Method: Metodo Franciacorta (second fermentation in bottle), aged a minimum of 40 months on the lees
Appearance: Bright straw‑yellow with gilded highlights; fine, persistent perlage
Aromas: Fresh balsamic lift intertwined with yuzu, candied citrus peel and white almond
Palate: Dry and incisive; creamy mousse opens to ripe stone fruit, salt‑licked minerality and a long, tonic finish
Tasting Profile
| Phase | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Sight | Luminous straw with flashes of pale gold; a continuo of pinpoint bubbles forms a steadfast crown. |
| Nose | Aromas unfurl from Mediterranean herbs and wintergreen to crisp Amalfi lemon, white peach and a whisper of toasted brioche. |
| Palate | Laser‑cut entry gives way to a layered core of nectarine, grapefruit pith and hazelnut praline. Chalky tension lifts the mid‑palate before tapering into a mouth‑watering, saline finale. |
