Contadi Castaldi Pinònero Natura 2017 Franciacorta Brut DOCG

A Franciacorta Brut DOCG from Contadi Castaldi, made from 100% Pinot Noir. The first ageing lasts six months, partly in stainless steel and partly in barrique, followed by 60 months on the lees and a further six months after disgorgement. It is straw yellow with golden, slightly amber reflections and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is broad and articulated, with pink grapefruit, linden flowers, wild strawberries, acacia honey and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is fresh, crisp and energetic, matching the nose, with good length. It is suggested with fish, especially salmon fillet flavoured with green pepper.
