Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut

A Franciacorta Brut from Contadi Castaldi, with Chardonnay playing the leading role. It is rich in fragrance, never obvious, and favours flow and an accessible sensory language. The colour is straw yellow, with soft foam and fine perlage. The nose shows linden, white peach and a hint of green pepper. On the palate it is taut and crisp, with verticality, flow and a sapidity that accompanies the finish. It is perfect for an aperitif and also pairs with pumpkin soup, asparagus risotto or salt-cod fritters.
