FRANCIACORTA 2015 RESERVE ZERO DOSAGE – TRADITIONAL METHOD

Deep yellow in colour with golden highlights. The mousse is soft and the perlage delicate. The nose reveals aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit and bread crust. Savoury and exceptionally fresh on the palate, with excellent acidity and a long, persistent finish.
