Ferghettina Franciacorta Extra Brut DOCG 2006

Lombardy, ItalyA serious, structured bubble, with 80/20 chardonnay/pinot noir spending 69 months on the lees. Ample brioche and lees here, laced with ripe pear, red apple, almonds, and orange blossom. The full, concentrated palate is sheared with pithy acidity, a well played foil to the richness in the mouth. If you're looking for a full, rich well built, aged (and age worthy - another ten years) traditional method sparkling, here you go.Tasted: 15 February 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
