Aug 7th, 2015Franciacorta DOCG Satèn, bottle tasted in May 2014. I like the wines from this producer, I think they are very well made. Beautiful pale yellow color, very luminescent. Excellent nose, rich of aromas. Very nice in the mouth too, creamy and persistent. It could have been served a little colder.... 88/100

Mar 31st, 2014Franciacorta DOC Vintage 2009. Elegant bubbles, excellent color, good acidity in the mouth, pleasant even if the persistence could have been a bit better.
