"Bright straw yellow with a fine perlage. Inviting and subtly spicy on the nose, with flavours of juicy apple, meadow herbs and a hint of brioche and honey. Creamy mousse on the palate, very juicy and with invigorating acidity through to the finish." Falstaff

"The Brut Franciacorta Cuvée Real offers a captivating bouquet of crushed flowers, stone dust, lemon oil and young pears. The palate is supple and round, with a delicate bead of bubbles. A balanced sweetness intertwines with hints of tart citrus, while white pit fruits give way to an almondy richness towards the close. Subtle notes of brown spice linger as inner florals add complexity to the remarkably fresh finale." Vinous

"Tight nose, but a complex wine. Strawberries, complemented by cheese notes, acacia honey and roasted walnuts. The mousse is fine and long with crisp acidity and a lean body. Long, savoury finish with citrus fruits and chalk." James Suckling

Franciacorta Millesimato brut perfectly combines the elegance of Chardonnay and the aristocracy of Pinot Nero. A rich bouquet with hints of apple, jasmine blossom, camomile and sea salt. Round and aromatic on the palate, with a very fine, persistent perlage and creamy foam. This Brut accompanies starters or the entire menu. Perfect! SUPERIORE.DE

"Greenish-yellow with silver reflections. Fresh butter, citrus fruits and herbs on the nose. Creamy note, very clear flavour, floral nuances, very pleasant and linear. Long, balsamic finish." Falstaff

"The 2018 Brut Franciacorta Essence opens with an airy blend of crushed apples, raw almonds and white flowers. It’s chiseled within, striking deeply with mineral-tinged bubbles that slowly round out and sweeten as this travels across the palate. Custard and baked pear hints linger as the 2018 finishes with medium-length and crisply refreshing." Vinous

"Fresh ripe peaches reveal a sorbet-like, soft and round texture on the palate. Gently nutty and toasty with a lot of fruit." James Suckling

"Bright straw yellow with persistent perlage. In the nose with delicate smoky notes, of blood oranges and red berries as well as candied pear, fine sea salt in the aftertaste. Seems very pure on the palate, almost austere, very straightforward and with great juice, bone dry, lingers very long." Falstaff
