Finest mousse. Lightest peach, lemon pith, ripe ginkgo, lime, persimmon, orchid concentrate and tangerine-thyme aromatically. Creamy mousse plays chalky with tangerine and lemon oil across the tongue seductively. Lime zest, lychee, apricot and a pure single drop of ripe lemon juice connects the creamy finish in a lovely way. Really an amazing wine with the complex nuances of a lively tête-à-tête with a stunningly beautiful lady. #CadelBosco #bubbles #franciacorta #Brut #Chardonnay #sparklingwine

Better than many many cheap champagnes. Interesting from start to finish; particularly the herbal and mineral notes and the excellent mousse. Mostly chardonnay with some pinots noir and blanc.

Dec 13th, 2017A brut that despite all its virtues (i.e., high acids and blanc-de-blancs-type notes, lacks so much in the mid-palate that it is hard to score it higher. However, compared to all proseccos, it raises high above. Have yet to try the Annamaria Clementi version though.

Deep gold color. Grapefruit, lemon oil, apricot, brioche and rich lees flavor on the nose. Green apple, grapefruit and a little bit honey component on the palate. Rich, round texture, fresh acidity, slight bitter finish(grapefruit skin). Very nice! Disgorged spring 2016. 12.5% alc.

Tongue numbingly good! Elegant light bubbles that tickle your palette. Complex layered mango, lemon juice, yeast, hazelnuts, and toast all identified with Pierre's new natural smelling kit.
