Lombardy, Italy1701 Franciacorta is a 10 hectare biodynamic certified estate, the first and only certified biodynamic producer in the Franciacorta region. This Brut Nature (in a fresh new label since I last saw it) blends the structural elegance of 85% Chardonnay, and the character of 15% Pinot Nero, aged for a minimum of 30 months on the lees. This bottle was disgorged in September 2022. Red and yellow apple, biscuit, light toast runs over a bed of river stones, held taut and snappy with a lemon pith brace. Bone dry and zippy, this is certainly not your typical blousy / creamy Franciacorta.Tasted: 08 September 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Yellow and red apple, bread dough lead this creamy, medium-bodied sparkler, scented with marzipan, and finishing with a shimmering buzz. The zero dosage keeps this taut and lively on the palate. Quite smart and fresh.Tasted: 11 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:
