Franciacorta Extra Brut DOCG Golf 1927 Barone Pizzini

A Franciacorta Extra Brut DOCG from Barone Pizzini, made from Chardonnay with a touch of Pinot Noir. The grapes ferment in temperature-controlled steel tanks and mature in steel for six months, followed by bottle ageing on the lees for about 20 to 30 months. It is suited to formal aperitifs and pairs well with cured meats, hard aged cheeses, seafood pasta and tuna tartare. In the glass it shows a pale straw yellow colour with a fine, persistent perlage. Floral and fruity aromas are joined by light mineral and bread-crust notes. The palate is enveloping, elegant and delicate, with a fresh, well-structured sip.
