1701 Franciacorta Surnàt NV
Lombardy, Italy1701 Franciacorta is a 10 hectare biodynamic certified estate, the first and only certified biodynamic producer in the Franciacorta region. This Chardonnay had 1/3 undergoing 1 week skin contact, prior to fermenting and aging on lees in amphora for 8 months. Crystalline quince and lemon pith is livened with buzzy stony soils, on a zippy green apple base, with a stencil of grip around the sides. Quite fresh and lively, this is a complete wine, drinking very well now.Tasted: 08 November 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $40.95 | 750ml | consignment |
