Cuvée Annamaria Clementi Franciacorta Chardonnay Blend

Francesco had this 6 years ago

After 10 years from the harvest I can say that finally I will remember the taste of this Franciacorta!!

Richly textured. Bubbles were not as delicate as you'd expect from a wine of this pedigree. Showing yellow to golden color. Delicious but not glamorous.

'04 dense, layered with orange marmalade & yellow cake. Showing elegance. Fantastic bubbles

Dosage zero

Pour le prix! Vraiment pas impressionnant

Lots of brioche and yeast notes. Very dry with stone fruits.

Dare I say, this has totally convinced me that Franciacorta is as good as the French stuff. Ca'del Bosco's flagship. A little more Pinot Noir than their NV cuvee (20%, 55% Chard, 25% Pinit Bianco). Made only in the finest years.

10 years, but still so fresh. Spent 8 years on lees. Perhaps a little new wine in the dosage to give that extra lift? Full bodied, fine fine bubbles, pear, peach, dried apricots, bready. Persistent finish. So good!

Getting there. Really nice aromatically but surprisingly still extremely effervescent. Great acid and a slight bitterness on the finish. Should continue to age nicely.

2006 vintage
Желтый грейпфрут, жирная лимонная цедра, груша дюшес, кедр, вербена, тонкий ржаной тон, легкая леденцовость, уравновешенная неброской галечной минеральностью. Пышное, округлое, средиземноморское вино. Очаровательно и жовиально, на несколько микронов недостает структуры.
